Oyaide Cables

What are your thoughts about this Oyaide cable company? I been using XLO signature series for many years and wanted to try this company IC and speaker cables. I read a few post that people are mentioning how good these cables are for real down to earth prices. I'm in search of some cables that are on the warmer and richer in tone.

I'm using focal 1038be speakers, McIntosh d150 DAC/pre and parasound JC1 amps. Fingers crossed that it doesn't sound like a thin can. Thanks for the input guys.

Highly Recommended.

I started by building Black Mamba V2 Power Cords.

Shifted to the Tunami Terzo V2 Interconnects.

Topped it all off with the Across 3000 Speaker Cables.

If you are not experienced with building your own Cables then I suggest that you start with their pre-made products. It takes practice to work with their Cables due to the heavy duty Outer Sheath & Diameter Size.

I had to build my own Interconnects since I am using XLR To RCA. In addition, I am not too thrilled with the White Outer Sheath on the Tunami Terzo V2.

This is some of the finest Copper that I have ever seen in the limited name Brands that I have built.

I have ordered all of my Oyaide from this Trusted Seller;

Also agree with ericteh above; " But the Tunami Terzo or the AR / AZ 910 are detailed yet super duper smooth and grainless ".

One more pair of Interconnects to modify and I will never look at other Cables again.

Wow, Oyaide cables are getting quite a bit of love around here. Even tho there isn't much noise from the company or any pro reviews. I might just pull the trigger and try some their Tunami Terzo xx IC and power cord.

From a review of Oyaide DB510 digital cable. Food for thought? Food seems like a common thread these days. 😛


“The idea of digital cables sounding different from one another will probably shock many people. According to some, “Bits are bits”and either the digital data is perfectly transmitted or there are drops and glitches but there shouldn’t be any “in-between”.

But the reality is different. There are no 1 and 0s running around in a digital cable. Actually, the signal being transmitted is analog in nature (square waves to be precise) and there are tiny timing errors that occur in the spdif interface (called jitter) that show up in the decoded data by the DAC. So the data being transmitted can be ”bit perfect” but the jitter will affect noticeably the analog output of a DAC. The jitter problem has been discussed extensively elsewhere, so I won’t go into the details.

Just know that jitter exist in cables and that itis measurable (see an old article from stereophile here: Stereophile: A Transport of Delight: CD Transport Jitter)

One interesting thing about that article is that jitter can be different according to the direction of the cable. Robert Harley (Stereophile) measured a cable that gave a figure of 4050ps on one direction vs 2700ps in another direction.”
