Odin 2 Digital Interconnect
The precision and intricacy needed to produce a truly superb digital cable are out of reach for most cable manufacturers. In order to obtain optimum results from the finest high-resolution systems, exacting transmission standards should not only be met — they should be exceeded. Through implementing the most advanced, proprietary technology and revolutionary techniques, Nordost has achieved just that. Odin 2 Digital Cables ensure the impedance matching necessary for S/PDIF and AES/EBU leads.
The Odin 2 75 Ohm Cable consists of a single, co-axial, silver-plated, solid core conductor, while the Odin 2 balanced 110 Ohm digital cable is constructed with two silver-plated conductors placed in a twin-axial design. Both Odin 2 Digital Interconnects use Nordost’s patented Dual Mono-Filament technology, offering superior dielectric performance and mechanical damping. The delicate signals they carry are protected by TSC technology, providing a virtual solid shield against harmful EMI and RFI interference. All Odin 2 Digital Interconnects are terminated with Nordost’s purpose built HOLO:PLUG® connectors, elevating these cables to a level never before achieved by digital leads.
Custom-lengths available: £4,025 per additional 1.25 meter

Odin 2 - Supreme Reference Cables
Nodost’s Supreme Reference, Odin 2 cables are designed to facilitate the perfect reproduction of sound. These exemplary products use every piece of revolutionary technique and technology in Nordost’s arsenal, in order to become the most celebrated range of audio cables in the hifi industry.
Each Odin 2 cable has a foundation of silver-plated, OFC solid core conductors, extruded FEP insulation, and a mechanically tuned construction. They then employ Nordost’s patented Dual Mono-Filament technology, where each conductor is intricately and uniformly wrapped in a twisted pair of FEP Mono-Filament, in order to create an air dielectric. These conductors are treated with a unique shielding technique known as TSC, which allows the cables to maintain signal transfer integrity while protecting them from the harmful effects of RFI and EMI.
Finally, Nordost’s proprietary HOLO:PLUG® connectors are introduced to the design. Each connector fits seamlessly with the internal geometry of the cable it houses, so when combined, these low mass, high end connectors create a perfect marriage of electrical and mechanical tuning.
Nordodst’s flagship cable range is the result of over thirty years of extensive research and development, great ingenuity and a sweeping application of industry knowledge. Odin 2 doesn’t just set the standard, it blows the standards away.
Digital Interconnects
It is vitally important to support your digital devices with cables that deliver the signal with the efficiency and consistency necessary to meet the demands of musical fidelity. Unfortunately, the precision and intricacy needed to produce a truly superb digital cable are out of reach for most cable manufacturers. Poor impedance matching has a dramatic impact on the accuracy with which the signal is passed from one electronic device to another. Nordost’s digital interconnects, on the other hand, implement the most advanced, proprietary technology and revolutionary techniques, ensuring the impedance matching necessary for S/PDIF and AES/EBU leads, guaranteeing the tight tolerance of characteristic impedance necessary to ensure greater musical detail, virtually unimpeded by timing errors or destructive jitter.
