MAGNUM OPUS Balanced Interconnect is a significant performance upgrade compared to OPUS Balanced Interconnect. MAGNUM OPUS transfers well-defined bass energy down through the bottom octave and provides a quieter interface for low-level audio signals than OPUS Balanced Interconnect.

Network components are also specifically chosen and matched more closely to suit the electrical characteristics of the cable and its length, and the network itself is calibrated more precisely to the electrical output characteristics of your source components and preamplifier. This extra level of precision adds considerable time to the painstaking MOBL manufacturing process, but the results in your system are worth it. From feeling and hearing the full power of the orchestra to every nuance of tonal shading and harmonic resolution within the performance space, MAGNUM OPUS is the vehicle to help transport you to another musical place and time. Rendering the musical space of the original performance upon a black, silent background melts the noise and distractions of the day away.

Vibration and resonance control and isolation also go to new heights with MAGNUM OPUS. It has 2 module housings per channel to further isolate the dual fully differentially balanced networks. The extra isolation reduces noise and more effectively damps any opportunity for resonances to affect performance. The components that comprise each network are encased in electrically neutral epoxy and surrounded by a larger carbon fiber network housing that has been contoured to reduce standing wave reflections. Carbon fiber is nonmagnetic, light, and stiff. The thinner, stronger, larger network housing provides a larger cavity for damping epoxy loading, and the non-magnetic qualities of carbon fiber allow the free and full expansion of electromagnetic fields which results in more accurate transmission of micro dynamics and harmonic music information.

MOBL must be calibrated to your specific source components or preamplifier. Contact Transparent or a Transparent dealer to share the details of your system components and room layout.

Warranty registration not only extends the Transparent Warranty to a limited lifetime warranty, but it provides the original owner with recalibrations at no charge in the event that a component change requires network adjustments.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Hannah ★★★★★

Swapped out the stock cables on my DAC and preamp for these and the noise floor basically vanished — background is dead silent now. The balanced connectors seat firmly with no wiggle, which I appreciated after fighting with looser ones for years.

Jason P. ★★★★★

Pairing these with my existing balanced gear was an immediate upgrade—the clarity and separation between instruments is unlike anything I've heard from my previous cables. They lock into place with a satisfying click and the noise floor dropped noticeably, even on my most sensitive recordings.

Sofia V. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about spending this much on balanced interconnects, but the difference in noise floor between my DAC and preamp was immediately obvious. The connectors lock in tight with no wobble, which matters when you're reaching behind a rack.
