Synergistic Research Foundation XL Digital Interconnect

Synergistic Research Foundation XL Digital Interconnect

Foundation XL Digital Interconnect brings the core technologies developed for Synergistic Research's flagship SRX XL cable line to a digital SPDIF/AES-EBU interconnect. It uses monocrystalline Silver Matrix conductors with a copper core and solid PTFE dielectric, rated to 12.4 GHz maximum frequency. Every cable uses SRX XL Matrix Shielding with Graphene and is treated with SRX XL High Voltage Conditioning, bringing Foundation XL's voicing closer to the flagship SRX XL line than its predecessor Foundation SX. Included Gold and Purple Carbon Tuning Discs let you voice the cable to your system, or run it clean. Available in RCA (SPDIF) or XLR (AES/EBU), and upgradeable to SR XLR high-purity silver connectors. As an authorized Synergistic Research dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you match this digital cable to your transport and DAC.
