The Digi-Coupler 75 Ohm’s special design covers all aspects required for a flawless and reliable transmission of SPDIF digital audio at short range as well as across large studio distances.
Van Den Hul The Digi-Coupler (Halogen Free) Digital Cable
The Digi-Coupler 75 Ohm is our top level SPDIF digital audio interconnect cable, though is equally suited for Video and HF signal transport at a maximum performance level. The Digi-Coupler 75 Ohm has been specially designed bearing the highest possible transmission quality of 75 Ohm impedance level SPDIF consumer format digital audio in mind, and is aimed at the critical audiophile as well as the professional. The Digi-Coupler 75 Ohm’s special design covers all aspects required for a flawless and reliable transmission of SPDIF digital audio at short range as well as across large studio distances and allows for notable improvements in your audio quality. The cable’s strict HF design likewise benefits the transport of Video and HF signals well into the Gigahertz range.
Features:
- The DigiCoupler 75 Ohm features a very constant and precise 75 Ohm impedance: 75 Ohm ± 0.5 Ohm up to 3 GHz
- The Digi-Coupler 75 Ohm features a very high frequency bandwidth. As an example: The -3 dB bandwidth of a 10 m. run is 770 MHz. (For more data see Attenuation graph in the sidebar)
- The Digi-Coupler 75 Ohm features a very low signal attenuation per unit length. As an example: At 100 MHz the attenuation is a mere 0.11 dB/m. (For more data see HF Performance Graphs in the sidebar)
- The Digi-Coupler 75 Ohm is a so-called “Superscreened” or “Low Transfer Impedance type” cable. To maximize performance in keeping the signal in and noise (RFI and EMI) out, the highest possible shielding factor is required. Without making compromises, The Digi-Coupler75 Ohm’s design therefore features a so-called “triaxial construction” which makes use of multiple highest quality shields. In The Digi-Coupler 75 Ohm not less than 3 dense braided shields, 3 foil shields and a Linear Structured Carbon ® (LSC) saturated outer layer are used, which combined shielding factor results into an ultra high screening attenuation and an ultra low transfer impedance; This allowing the cable to carry the designation “Superscreened”. The Digi-Coupler 75 Ohm’s supreme immunity against radio frequency and electromagnetic interference allows trouble-free use of large lengths. Multiple lengths can be run in parallel without risk of mutual interference, even with other cabling (e.g. in cable conduits).
- The Digi-Coupler 75 Ohm features high purity dense silver coated stranded shields as well as a rugged and hard-wearing jacket made of our HULLIFLEX ® polymer insulation material. All providing an optimal protection against chemical (corrosive) attack from the outside world and ensuring a very long lifespan.
Bearing professional, broadcast and high resolution applications in mind, The Digi-Coupler 75 Ohm’s design has all the technology on board for exceptional performance without compromise. The Digi-Coupler 75 Ohm provides the cleanest possible signal transport in all 75 Ohm impedance level applications and is the ultimate choice for the critical audiophile, videophile and professional. Next to our standard sales units (see specifications below) The Digi-Coupler 75 Ohm is also available on 100 m. reels fitted with end-caps to prevent any entrance of chemically polluted air.

Enhance Your Experience: Free Cable Burn-In Service with Nordost VIDAR Machine
Please take note of the following details regarding our cable burn-in service:
- Cable Compatibility: We regret to inform you that we cannot burn-in cables with stripped bare ends or BFA plugs. In order for cables to undergo the burn-in process, they should be terminated or have connectors.
- Timing: Cables will be burnt in for the selected period after processing your order. For custom-length cables, the burn-in process will occur after they have been terminated by the manufacturer or our engineers unless specified otherwise in the product description.
- Availability: Future Shop provides our cable burn-in service free of charge, but its availability is at our discretion. While we strive to fulfil all burn-in requests for the specified time periods, please understand that during exceptionally busy periods, we may be unable to meet the demand due to limited connections on the Nordost Vidar cable conditioning machines.
The Nordost VIDAR cable burn-in machine integrates three key functions into one operation:
- Charge Neutralisation: It eliminates charges that accumulate around the cables and their insulation, ensuring a more balanced electrical environment.
- Deep Conditioning: The machine provides a wide band and deep conditioning process that affects the conductor core, resulting in changes to the signal transmission through the metal. This deep conditioning enhances the cable's performance.
- Ultrasonic Surface Conditioning: The VIDAR machine utilizes ultrasonic waves to condition the surface of the conductors, optimizing their contact and overall conductivity.
The VIDAR employs a proprietary combination of composite and complex signals to condition the cables. These signals comprise ultra-low and ultra-high frequencies, extending beyond the range of video frequencies. The signal moves back and forth along the cable, penetrating deep into the core with ultra-low frequencies and traversing the surface with ultra-high frequencies. This transmission method generates beat harmonics between the two complex waveforms, which permeate all layers of the cable. The circuitry of the VIDAR also drives electrons from the conductor into the insulation area, neutralizing electrical charges.
So, what does this all mean for you?
The ultimate outcome of conditioning cables with the Nordost VIDAR is improved sound staging, increased detail, and an overall more musical presentation in your audio system.
Now, you may wonder why cable burn-in is necessary. During cable manufacturing, gasses become trapped as insulation is applied over the conductors. Additionally, new cables often possess high electrical charges, resulting in a brittle and bright sound that lacks the desired detail and depth for music production.
When cables undergo burn-in, the trapped gasses are dissipated, and small impurities in the conductor metals begin to exhibit diode-like behaviour, favouring current flow in a specific direction.
Here are the physical effects of the burn-in process:
- Charge Neutralisation: The burn-in process neutralizes charges in the conductors and insulation, promoting a more balanced electrical environment.
- Wide Bandwidth Frequencies: The conditioning affects how signals pass through the metal, enabling a wider range of frequencies to penetrate all cable layers.
- Signal Transmission: The burn-in process establishes the directionality of the cable, optimizing signal transmission from one end to the other.
When cables are properly burnt in, you can expect the following audible changes in your audio system:
- Fuller and Natural Sound: Your system should be capable of producing a more immersive and realistic performance with a fuller and more natural sound.
- Increased Detail: You may notice enhanced details and nuances in the music, allowing you to perceive subtle elements that were previously hidden.
- Improved Soundstage: The dimensionality of your system's soundstage can be greatly improved, creating a more spacious and immersive listening experience.
At Future Shop, our goal is to maximise your satisfaction. That's why we offer a free burn-in service on all our cables before they arrive at your door, enabling you to sit back and enjoy the benefits of properly conditioned cables in your audio system.

Another great winner from Van Den Hul
It´s all a question of balance !
I recommend you to purchase 1,5 m of The Digi-Coubler 75 ohm, for the dynamic, you may need / want for playing: Heavey Metal, Heavy Rock, Rock, Blues Rock etc.
If you prefer a more "naked signal", when playing: Pop-, Jazz-, Acoustic blues-, Folk-, and Classical music etc., I will recommend you to buy 1,0 m of VDH The Optocoupler MKII instead.
This works for me and my system !

The best coax I've had. I have a marantz cd6006 connected to a Yamaha Aventage RX-3060, B & W683-S2, FOCAL-Aria, Audio Monitor, Definitive, SVS-PB2000, Furman P-800AR, etc, etc, etc. and actually the changes I make in my system They would have to be with very high quality elements to notice any changes. I commented that this cable has improved the dynamic range making it clearer and pure, in particular, I have noticed a much cleaner and deeper bass, simply, blunt. I have always said, the quality of an audio system is determined by the element of lower quality, that is, a chain is always broken by its weakest link, always try that each and every one of the links in your chain are the best of the best. This cable is high-end. I am very satisfied.
Thanks Gary.

Les comento que este cable ha mejorado el rango dinámico haciéndolo más claro y puro, en particular, he notado un bajo mucho más limpio y profundo, simplemente, contundente. Siempre lo he dicho, la calidad de un sistema de audio lo determina el elemento de menor calidad, es decir, una cadena siempre se rompe por su eslabón más débil, procura siempre que todos y cada uno de los eslabones de tu cadena sean lo mejor de lo mejor. Este cable es de alta gama. Estoy muy satisfecho. Gracias Gary.
