Wireworld Starlight 8 Digital Audio Cable

 

Starlight 8 is the only digital audio cable to offer leading-edge technology, materials and performance, in the price range of conventional coaxial digital audio cables. The patented DNA Helix design and Composilex 3 insulation provide clear improvements in musical detail and dynamic expression.

In theory, digital audio connections are supposed to be less sensitive to cables than analog connections, but cable polygraph tests have shown that the audible losses of digital and analog cables are actually comparable. Even Ethernet connections, which are perfectly reliable when saving files, tend to degrade the fidelity of streamed music and video in comparison to a local file source. Wireworld has invested in decades of research, testing and development to create digital audio cables that overcome those losses to provide substantial upgrades in musical realism and enjoyment. Over a wide range of applications and price levels, Wireworld digital audio cables advance the art of preserving the natural tone quality, spatial imaging and exciting dynamics of live music.

WireWorld Starlight Series 7 and 8 Differences

For Series 8, the upgrade to Composilex 3 and adding more strand groups has increased musicality, resolution and dynamic contrasts.

Spacious and sophisticated presentation

Verified Buyer
I upgraded to this from Ecosse The Producer which gave more detail and rhythmic elan than the generic coaxial I was previously using.

I wasn't expecting any dramatic changes from this swap yet the Starlight 8 justifies its extra outlay (4x) over The Producer. It shows up the latter's slight treble edge and forward presentation. The soundstage is deeper with the Starlight 8 and the lower registers are fuller and have more clout, especially in the bass. This isn't a "showy" cable though. The highest and lowest frequencies are well integrated so the first impression is of a sophisticated smooth flow of sound. However it does rise to the occasion during loud transients where the sounds are delivered with a blend of power and tonal richness. When the music returns to cruising mode, the Starlight 8 displays its most characteristic strength. It does nuances and delicacy very well, giving insight into the artistry of solo singers, violinists and pianists.

A side note: the rca plug is tighter than the ones from other brands I am used to. Requires care when fitting to sockets.

Wireworld's power cords have served me very well, so I am delighted to say my first WW coaxial this Starlight 8 has been a successful choice.

Thanks again to FutureShop for the quick shipping. You guys are my one stop for cable upgrades now.
