Overview
Clarus Aqua MKII Coaxial Digital Audio Cable
High-performance 75-ohm digital RCA cable featuring silver-plated Pure Continuous Cast Copper conductors, nitrogen-injected polyethylene dielectric, triple shielding, and premium MKII connectors.
The Clarus Aqua MKII Coaxial Digital Audio Cable is engineered for precise digital audio transmission between CD transports, network streamers, DACs, and other components equipped with coaxial S/PDIF connections. Its carefully controlled 75-ohm impedance, silver-plated Pure Continuous Cast Copper (PCCC) conductor, and advanced shielding construction help maintain signal integrity in high-resolution audio systems.
Part of the Clarus Aqua MKII collection, this digital interconnect combines premium metallurgy, low-loss insulation, and precision RCA termination for demanding two-channel audio applications.
75-Ohm Coaxial Digital Construction
Unlike conventional analog RCA interconnects, the Aqua MKII is specifically engineered for 75-ohm S/PDIF digital audio transmission.
Its controlled-impedance coaxial geometry is designed to minimize signal reflections and preserve the electrical characteristics required for reliable digital data transfer.
This makes it suitable for connecting compatible digital transports, streamers, and digital-to-analog converters.
Silver-Plated Pure Continuous Cast Copper
Clarus uses silver-plated Pure Continuous Cast Copper (PCCC) for the digital signal conductor.
The continuous-casting process produces highly uniform copper with fewer crystal boundaries, while the silver-plated surface provides excellent electrical conductivity for high-frequency digital signals.
This conductor construction is designed to support consistent signal transmission with low electrical resistance.
Nitrogen-Injected Skin-Foam-Skin Dielectric
The Aqua MKII features Clarus's proprietary skin-foam-skin polyethylene dielectric.
Its multilayer construction includes a protective inner skin, nitrogen-injected foam insulation, and an outer skin that helps maintain the cable's physical geometry.
The low dielectric constant reduces signal attenuation, while the protective layers help preserve the required 75-ohm characteristic impedance.
Heavy Triple Shielding
Clarus incorporates a three-layer shielding system to protect the digital signal against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.
The combination of metallic foil and braided shielding provides extensive coverage around the signal conductor, helping reduce interference from nearby power cables, wireless equipment, and other electronics.
This construction is particularly beneficial in complex high-end audio systems containing multiple digital components.
Premium MKII RCA Connectors
The Aqua MKII is terminated with Clarus's proprietary RCA connectors, manufactured using two high-conductivity copper alloys.
-
Hollow tellurium copper center pin: Designed for low electrical resistance and reduced eddy-current effects.
-
Beryllium copper ground contacts: Provide resilient contact pressure and a secure connection to RCA receptacles.
The precision connector design complements the cable's controlled-impedance construction.
Designed for Digital Audio Components
The Clarus Aqua MKII is suitable for compatible coaxial digital connections between:
-
CD transports and external DACs
-
Network music streamers and DACs
-
Digital audio players and processors
-
Digital outputs on compatible integrated amplifiers and source components
The cable uses RCA-to-RCA S/PDIF connections and is sold individually.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Do you price match?
Yes. We match any authorised dealer, including big-box retailers. If you find the same product at a lower price, contact us and we'll match it.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes — free shipping on every order, with 2-day delivery available on most products. Easy returns and exchanges are included.
Where is your showroom?
We're at 6362 Alder Drive, Houston, Texas. The showroom lets you hear and compare reference-level systems in person before making any decisions. If you're considering a larger purchase or installation, it's well worth the visit.
Can I buy online without visiting the showroom?
Yes. The full product range is available through the online store with free nationwide shipping. For more complex system builds, speaking with one of our advisers first tends to lead to a better result.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Special financing is available through the BrandSource Credit Card for qualifying purchases, allowing you to spread payments over time with no annual fee. Promotional rebate savings are also available periodically. See the financing page for full details.
Do you install systems as well as sell equipment?
Yes — installation is central to what we do. We design and install whole-home audio and video, home theaters, media rooms, outdoor audio, lighting and motorised shades, and full smart home automation.
Do you provide support after installation?
Yes. We provide ongoing service and support to ensure systems continue performing as intended — not just on installation day, but over the long term.
