Cables For DS Audio Cartridges
SCX-5000 Serendipity
This high-quality phono line cable has an optimal structure for DS Audio’s optical cartridges. Since DS Audio’s optical cartridges require both signal and power lines for transmission, this cable employs a structure that separates the signal and power lines. Furthermore, using a unique continuous forging and drawing technology, it minimizes crystal grain boundaries that hinder signal transmission and creates a continuous crystal structure along the longitudinal direction, resulting in superior conductivity. This PC-Triple C conductor transmits sound smoothly from low to high frequencies, achieving an even higher signal-to-noise ratio and clearer, wider-range characteristics. This is a super-reference phono cable that transmits signals with extreme fidelity.
Features
- Wiring structure optimized for DS Audio optical cartridges

SCX-05 Serendipity
When DS Audio’s optical cartridge uses a standard SCX-5000 phono cable, the signal and power are transmitted adjacent to each other. Therefore, the SCX-05Serendipity uses a cable with shielding for each core, and further shields the signal and power supplies adjacent to each other to minimize noise interference. Of course, it employs a PC-Triple C conductor, which achieves superior conductivity by minimizing crystal grain boundaries that hinder signal transmission and creating a continuous crystal structure along the longitudinal direction, thanks to DS Audio’s unique continuous forging and drawing technology. This, combined with the cable structure, enables extremely low noise and high-speed signal transmission. As a result, it allows for the reproduction of subtle sounds and the depth and height of the sound field. This is the birth of a phono cable for optical cartridges that helps enhance the high-quality sound reproduction of evolving optical cartridges.
Features
- The conductor uses PC-Triple C conductor, which has stable electrical characteristics such as ultra-low distortion and high conductivity.
- Fluororesin is used as the insulator. High-speed transmission is achieved, and low-frequency loss is also reduced by lowering the dielectric constant.
- Cables are individually shielded to reduce noise.
- Signal lines and power lines are shielded with copper foil to ensure complete noise reduction.
- SAEC’s original high-precision collect chuck structure plug is used.
