AudioQuest Sydney 3.5mm to RCA Audio Interconnect Cable

The AudioQuest Sydney 3.5 mm → RCA Interconnect Cable channels the engineering principles of the Sydney series into a mini-to-RCA format. It’s crafted to connect portable sources, DACs, or devices with a 3.5 mm output to standard RCA inputs—while preserving clarity, dynamics, and the tonal integrity of your system. Even in this compact format, the cable employs premium materials, noise control strategies, and precise geometry to deliver high-quality audio.

Solid Conductor Design for Pure Signal Flow

This cable uses Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors, which minimize distortions associated with strand interactions and grain-boundary irregularities. The smooth surfaces help reduce micro-reflections, leading to cleaner highs and more natural midrange tonal balance. Because the conductor is solid, it also avoids internal movement among strands that can degrade clarity.

Dielectric & Insulation that Protects Transients

The cable employs foamed polyethylene insulation, which introduces significant air volume around the core conductor. This reduces dielectric absorption and helps preserve sharp transient edges and fine detail. The dielectric design is optimized to minimize energy loss or smearing of musical dynamics, especially over shorter runs typical of mini-to-RCA links.

Noise Dissipation & Shielding Strategy

To guard against RF/EMI interference, Sydney includes a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation system (NDS) that intercepts noise before it reaches the signal conductor. The shielding is designed to “shield the shield,” preventing high-frequency contamination from degrading sonic purity. This helps maintain quieter backgrounds and more discernible detail in sensitive listening contexts.

Key Features
  • Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductor
  • Foamed polyethylene insulation to reduce dielectric absorption
  • Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation system to intercept RF/EMI
  • Asymmetrical double-balanced geometry (signal and return isolation)
  • Directional design (marked signal → “destination”)
  • Cold-welded, gold-plated 3.5 mm mini to RCA connectors
  • Flexible, durable jacket suitable for tight routing
  • Compact mini → RCA format, ideal for shorter runs and portable systems
