Audioquest Firebird 48Gbps 72v DBS 1.5m

HDMI cables up to 10K

AudioQuest 48Gbps cables are fully backward compatible with existing devices and have the bandwidth required for video with resolutions up to 10K and resolutions/refresh rates up to 8K/60 and 4K/120.

What is eARC?

eARC stands for Enhanced Audio Return Channel. The difference between ARC and eARC lies in their bandwidth. The enhanced version of the audio return channel has a much higher bandwidth than its predecessor. Bandwidth represents the frequency range or amount of data transferred simultaneously.

Dielectric Bias System (DBS 72V)

Any insulation jacket has the effect of slowing down the signal inside the conductor. If the insulation is non-polarized, it slows down different parts of the signal differently, a major problem for multi-octave audio that is very sensitive to time shifts. AudioQuest’s DBS creates a strong, stable electrostatic field that saturates and polarizes (organizes) the insulation molecules. This minimizes both the energy stored in the insulation and the multiple nonlinear delays that occur. Sound emerges from a surprisingly silent background, offering unexpected dynamic contrast and detail. DBS batteries provide years of operation. A test button and LED allow for occasional battery checking.

HDR (High Dynamic Range)

All AudioQuest HDMI cables support HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Dynamic HDR. HDR content extends the image contrast for blacker blacks and brighter whites/highlights, as well as greater color saturation and brightness. Additionally, 4K Ultra-HD content enables a wider color gamut. This combination of technologies results in more realistic HDR images with greater perceived depth. Dynamic HDR (HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, for example) allows for frame-by-frame HDR optimization rather than HDR settings that are fixed for the entire program. The most well-known current HDR formats are HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision. AudioQuest 18Gbps and 48Gbps HDMI cables are compatible with all varieties of HDR, which can be found on Ultra-HD Blu-ray and all major streaming services, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+, and others.

Paradoxically, you have to both "forget" the price to buy this HDMI cable, and "trust" its price to obtain an image that borders on perfection (unattainable in principle).
The transition with a Kordz EVS-R cable is quite surprising! It's a bit like having changed TVs.
What struck me immediately was the brightness: the gain is really significant.
Brightness, contrast, etc., everything is taken to new heights.
Then, the colors!
There, it's astounding! And the better the original image, the more striking and significant the difference with the old Kordz EVS-R, to the point that they are simply not the same colors that appear (this is about nuances, details, micro details, and quite often even the "general" color as such).
I wasn't expecting this at all!
Everything is outlined marvelously (same as for the "big" sound), to the point of generating a 3D sensation. Everything becomes dazzling, magnificently colored (the 3D is delightful), with each thing being beautifully "distinguished" from its environment.
In short, with such a cable all the veils fall away, giving way to a true visual spectacle and, more importantly, generating an undeniable and rare pleasure that is constantly renewed.

Paradoxalement, il faut à la fois "oublier" le prix pour acheter ce câble HDMI, et "faire confiance" à son prix pour l'obtention d'une image frôlant la perfection (inatteignable par principe)..
La transition avec un câble Kordz EVS-R est pour le moins surprenante ! On a un peu l'impression d'avoir changé de TV.
Ce qui m'a frappé immédiatement, c'est la luminosité : le gain est vraiment important.
Luminosité, contraste etc., tout est porté aux nues.
Ensuite, les couleurs !
Là, c'est stupéfiant ! Et plus l'image d'origine est bonne, et plus la différence avec l'ancien Kordz EVS-R est flagrante et importante, au point que ce ne sont tout simplement pas les mêmes couleurs qui apparaissent (il s'agit ici des nuances, des détails, des micros détails, et même assez souvent de la couleur "générale" en tant que telle).
Je ne m'attendais pas du tout à cela !
Tout est détouré à merveille (idem que pour le "grand" son), au point de générer une sensation de 3D. Tout devient éclatant, magnifiquement coloré (la 3D est jouissive), chaque chose étant magnifiquement "distinguée" de son environnement.
Bref, pour abréger, avec un tel câble tous les voiles tombent, laissant place à un véritable spectacle visuel et, plus important encore, génèrent un indéniable et rare plaisir sans cesse renouvelé.
