High Quality Firewire Cable

We have been searched for a nice firewire cable to match with our Weiss firewire products over a year.

What is our perspective of a good firewire cable?

We understand it is difficult to ask Weiss user to go computer junk store and buy any cheap firewire to use with our high end audio products. We have heard quite many times when the user report they cannot connect the Weiss products to computer, 90% of the problems are come from the firewire cable. The junk computer cables are simply not reliable.

On the other hand, there are ultra expansive audiophile firewire cables. We designed our products with engineering background. All Weiss firewire products run in Master Clock mode when using computer as source. This means the clock (timing) is not driven by the computer, but control by the crystal inside Weiss product, nearest to the DAC or real time digital output like AES, SPDIF etc. We do not recommend any expansive firewire cable, although we obviously respect and agree everyone has different definition of the term “expansive”.

We found Oyaide Neo-W d+1394 cables from our professional audio contacts in Japan. Oyaide is a famous long history cable manufacturer and they designed Neo-W d+1394 for audio professionals in the industry. This cable is just launched to Japan market on April 16, 2010. We had a meeting with the Creative Director Kenichi Sobajima 傍嶋賢一 & Hiroyuki Yamano 山能博之. It was great to exchange audio information with industry affiliate.

Oyaide Neo-W d+1394 cables have the following features:

  • Silver-plated oxygen-free copper conductor
  • Double Shielded (most important issue)
  • Foam polyethylene insulator (easy to twist and soft handling)
  • 24K Gold-plated copper alloy terminals
  • Good Eye Pattern

    Hello, I’d like to purchase a pair of the Oyaide d+ Firewire cables please to use with my DAC2. I note from the manufacturer’s site there is also a 0.6m option available, which would be my preference.

    Can you advise on availability, cost including shipping (I’m in the UK) and order process, please.

    Requirement is 6pin – 9pin (2010 Mac Mini – DAC2).

    Many thanks.

    “Dear Akira, I received the cable today! Already tested: I found it EXCELLENT, basically in the same league as the much more expensive (about 8 times the price) Siltech Classic FW cable. The Oyaide Neo-W d+1394 Fire-wire cable should be strongly recommended to all Weiss FW DAC users! Weiss could include this cable with the supply of all their new FW D/A converters.” Best regards, Carlos” – Canada

  19. Ken says:

    Hi,

    I’m going to use this cable between my mac book pro/ Weiss INT202/ Devialet. Which one should I get the 400-400 or the 400-800 type? Also is it best to use AES/ EBU from my Weiss to my Devialet or is it the same as SPDIF digital RCA? If the AES/EBU is the best, which brand do you recommend?

    Thanks,

    Ken.

    • admin says:

      Hello Ken, Macbook Pro uses 9pin. You will need a 6pin – 9pin config. Weiss INT202 works equally best on SPDIF or AES. Congratulation to the the Weiss/Devialet combo. I should receive a demo unit in late November. For AES/EBU cable, we can recommend the Weiss Chiron

    Hi,

    I am looking to buy a 0.5m d+ Firewire cable to go from new Mac Mini to Weiss DAC 202.
    Also matching 0.5m USB version required for external drive.

    Please let me know payment details etc. Based in UK.

    Thanks
    Roger

  23. Dan says:

    Hi, I am interested in the 0.6m firewire cable, 6 pin to 6 pin. The above site does not have any in stock. Can you supply me with one? I live in the UK. Thanks!

  24. Gregory Terrance says:

    Hello – I would like a 1.5 or 2 meter firewire suitable for the Weiss DAC202 and the MacMini 2011. Can you send me a price and idea how to purchase? Thank you in advance!

    Also – I cannot find an answer to this question. I will run the 202/Mac directly into my monon amps (balanced). Can I run a headphone amp (RCA) at the same time?
