Supreme Reference 75-Ohm Digital Precision | Available at Trimira Audio
The Nordost Odin 2 75-Ohm Digital Interconnect is a flagship coaxial digital cable designed for reference-level digital audio systems using 75-ohm interfaces such as S/PDIF.
As part of Nordost's Odin 2 Series, it combines Dual Mono-Filament technology, Total Signal Control (TSC) shielding, ultra-pure silver-plated solid-core OFC, and custom HOLO:PLUG® 75-ohm BNC termination.
The cable is specifically engineered around a controlled 75-ohm characteristic impedance, providing the appropriate electrical architecture for high-speed coaxial digital transmission.
At Trimira Audio, we recommend the Odin 2 75-Ohm Digital Interconnect for reference CD transports, network streamers, digital bridges, DACs, and digital processors.
Key Features & Technological Innovations
Patented Dual Mono-Filament Technology
The solid-core conductor is wrapped with two helical FEP strands before the outer FEP jacket is applied.
This creates a low-contact dielectric environment designed to minimize dielectric interaction and energy storage while supporting rapid signal propagation.
Heavy-Gauge 11 AWG Solid-Core OFC
Odin 2 uses 1 × 11 AWG solid-core conductor manufactured from 99.999999% ultra-high-purity OFC copper with 85 µm pure silver plating.
The solid-core construction provides consistent conductor geometry throughout the coaxial transmission path.
Total Signal Control (TSC) Shielding
A 100% total-coverage braid/foil TSC shielding structure surrounds the digital signal path, providing extensive protection against:
- RF interference
- Electromagnetic interference
- External electrical noise
- High-frequency crosstalk
True 75-Ohm Characteristic Impedance
The cable is specifically engineered around a true 75-ohm characteristic impedance, making it appropriate for 75-ohm digital interfaces.
Consistent impedance helps minimize electrical reflections along the digital transmission path.
Custom HOLO:PLUG® 75-Ohm BNC Terminations
The cable is hand-terminated with custom HOLO:PLUG® 75-ohm BNC connectors.
Gold-plated 75-ohm BNC-to-RCA adapters are supplied for components equipped with RCA-type S/PDIF connections.
