MPSOURCE Pangu network cable

The biggest difference between audiophile-grade network cables and regular standard network cables lies in their different purposes. The purpose of regular network cables is to achieve standardized transmission speeds while accurately transmitting data. However, for audiophile-grade network cables, transmission speed is not the main evaluation standard; sound quality is. In fact, in terms of transmission speed alone, traditional CAT-5e cables are sufficient for streaming music playback. Therefore, audiophile-grade network cables do not simply prioritize speed, but rather focus on accurate and stable transmission to achieve high fidelity sound quality and unique tonal characteristics, resulting in more precise and correct sound reproduction.

High-end audio-grade network cables mainly use purer conductor materials such as oxygen-free copper, silver-plated copper, OCC, or silver-plated OCC, pure silver wire, single crystal silver, and employ better insulation and shielding materials, stricter twist pitch requirements, special twisting methods, and wire body structures or vibration isolation methods to achieve balanced, true, and stable sound quality performance.

As the first audio-grade network cable of MPSOURCE, it is named after the Chinese mythological figure Pangu, who created the world. The Pangu network cable features specially designed metal connectors and incorporates three proprietary core technologies.

Technology: 

1. Unified Directionality 

2. Loop 

3. Energy Balance

1. The so-called "full positive phase" technology is generally produced by standard wire factories with a back-and-forth axis winding method. This production method involves two conflicting directions! However, it is highly efficient! MPSOURCE requires that the crystalline orientation of each conductor must be the same in order to be wound into a bundle. We found that if the wires do not have a unified orientation, it can result in unclear sound when listening at low volume, and noisy sound when listening at high volume, or a situation where the audio focus is off and the low frequencies are loose! This can lead to an unpleasant listening experience. On the other hand, if we use wires with a unified orientation for listening to music, we can hear details clearly at low volume, and there won't be confusion or noise when playing music at high volume with dynamic range. Listening to music becomes a pleasant mind and body experience!

2. "Sequential progression" means that the direction of the conductor must align with the direction of the signal or electric current. For example, in alternating current, the electricity flows in through the live wire and out through the neutral wire, so the directions are opposite. Therefore, when winding, it is necessary to match the direction of the conductor with the crystalline direction correctly, which is the correct practice.

3. The so-called "energy balance" refers to the division of sound energy into high, medium, and low frequency bands, with each frequency needing to achieve a balanced coordination. This includes calculations of the area of each conductor, the insulation material used, and the stranding method. Different types of damping materials will greatly affect the distribution of frequency energy. Therefore, it is necessary to make overall adjustments and variations according to different usage scenarios and needs, such as differences between multi-core and single-core wires, signal wires and speaker wires, composite materials and single materials, analog wires and digital wires. By combining various requirements, the goal is to achieve energy balance and optimal conduction.

The sound field of the mpsource Pangu network cable is deeper and more three-dimensional, with clearer shapes of various instruments and vocal parts, and improved separation. Particularly noteworthy is the magnetic and realistic quality of the vocals, listening to Tsai Chin's voice feels like the singer is right in front of you, and when listening to Tsai Chin's unique, thick, and emotional voice, it feels incredibly real. Listening to Teresa Teng's gentle and emotional voice is vivid and touching. At this point, one is basically intoxicated. In addition, when listening to pop music, the sense of form and weight in the low frequencies is also enhanced. The extension is clearer, and when the low frequencies are played, the force is more concentrated and cohesive, making the dynamics stronger and more crisp. In general, it is rare for me to hear such emotionally rich sound through a network cable, making it a sound that one would want to listen to over and over again.
