Product Details
Synergistic Research Atmosphere Excite SX Digital Interconnect
Excite SX Digital is a mid-tier digital interconnect in Synergistic Research's Atmosphere SX Digital line, sitting above Alive SX Digital and below Euphoria SX Digital. It expands on Alive SX Digital's geometry with an additional pure silver Air String (2 for AES/EBU), hand-built from 99.9999% pure silver monofilament conductors in an air dielectric. It carries over technology from the flagship SRX cable loom, including the High Voltage Long Duration Conditioning process, UEF Matrix Shielding, and a UEF compound first developed for SR Purple Fuses. It's available in SPDIF (RCA) or AES/EBU (XLR) termination, and its shield can be floating-grounded via an included plug-and-play connector, or terminated to an optional SR Ground Block or Active Ground Block for further performance. As an authorized Synergistic Research dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you choose SPDIF or AES/EBU for your DAC and transport.

Excite SX Digital FAQ
SPDIF or AES/EBU — which do I need?
Match it to your DAC and transport's digital connection type — SPDIF uses RCA, AES/EBU uses XLR (balanced).
How does this compare to the rest of the digital cable lineup?
From entry to flagship: Foundation SX Digital → Foundation XL Digital → Atmosphere Excite SX Digital → Atmosphere Euphoria SX Digital → Galileo Discovery Digital.
Do I need a Ground Block?
No — the shield can float-ground via the included connector. Terminating to an SR Ground Block or Active Ground Block is an optional further upgrade.
