The Chord Company Prodac Pro Digital Digital interconnect 0.5m length. Purchased new, and has been in service as digital transport between streamer and DAC in my office hifi ever since. No longer needed after a big upgrade.

The Chord Company Prodac Pro digital cables from the '90s rarely surface on the used market, with clean examples typically trading hands for AUD60-120 depending on length and terminations—bargain hunters score shorter ones under AUD80, while pristine longer runs push higher. At AUD45 for an unknown-condition unit, this listing looks like a steal if it's functional, undercutting the norm enough to tempt a punt, though the opacity on specs keeps it from being a no-brainer grab.
Before biting, verify connector integrity—gold-plated RCAs or BNCs often tarnish or loosen after decades, causing signal dropouts—and check for the original velvet pouch or box, as these fetch a premium in Chord's collector scene. Test continuity with a multimeter to rule out internal wire fatigue, a common gremlin in early Chord digitals.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
The Chord Company was founded in 1984 in Salisbury, England, born from a serendipitous dinner conversation among Naim Audio retailers visiting from the US. They sought a high-quality DIN-to-RCA interconnect cable, unavailable at the time, prompting Sally Gibb—then married to a Naim executive—to propose crafting them herself. With Naim's endorsement, she launched the venture, naming it for the American term "cord" and its musical resonance, while insisting on fully British design and construction. Early prototypes were tested with Naim expertise, hand-built by friends, establishing a heritage rooted in precision and hi-fi passion from its Wiltshire headquarters near Stonehenge.
The company specializes exclusively in analogue and digital cables, spanning interconnects, speaker wires, power cords, and tonearm cables across performance tiers from entry-level C-series to flagship Leyline ranges. Unlike brands delving into amplifiers, speakers, or DACs, Chord focuses intently on signal integrity, employing advanced shielding, conductor materials, and geometry to minimize noise and preserve dynamics—catering to systems from budget setups to ultra-high-end rigs.
Renowned as a high-end boutique leader in the cable market, The Chord Company commands respect among discerning audiophiles for delivering exceptional value, transparency, and build quality that punches above its price. Its steady growth and international acclaim affirm a niche position: not vintage or mid-tier, but a go-to for upgrades that reveal system potential without ostentation.
