Description
“Project V1 is an undeniable accomplishment.”
“Project V1 might be the last stop on your cable and power cord journey — the final destination.”
— Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound, Jan 2026
Digital links can be deceptively sensitive. While the data remains “digital,” the quality of the electrical waveform and the cable’s immunity to interference can influence timing stability and the overall sense of ease. In practice, that can show up as a more coherent soundstage, clearer separation, and lower perceived haze—especially with revealing DACs and high-resolution transports/streamers. The Project V1-D was designed as a top-tier solution for listeners who want their digital chain to sound more natural, more stable, and more immersive, rather than merely “sharper.”
Hybrid α-OCC + α-DUCC conductors for signal purity
At the core of Project V1-D is Furutech’s hybrid conductor concept: an α(Alpha) silver-coated OCC inner conductor paired with an α(Alpha) DUCC outer conductor—the same family of conductor technologies used in the wider Project V1 series. Furutech further applies its Alpha Super Cryogenic and Demagnetizing process to elevate purity and conductivity characteristics. The intent is a more efficient, less “lossy” transfer of the digital signal, helping preserve fine timing and micro-information that can otherwise be masked by noise.
NCF: anti-static and anti-resonance engineering
Project V1-D incorporates Furutech’s NCF (Nano Crystal² Formula). Furutech describes NCF as having two “active” properties: it generates negative ions that help eliminate static, and it converts thermal energy into far infrared. NCF is combined with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for additional damping via piezoelectric effect. In a digital cable, this type of control is intended to reduce both electrical and mechanical noise—helping the system sound calmer and more focused.
Double sleeve + 3-layer shielding: built for real environments
Today’s listening rooms are full of potential interference sources—routers, switch-mode supplies, displays, computers, and charging devices. Project V1-D addresses this with a sound-enhancing, resonance-damping double sleeve and a 3-layer shield design, plus filler and damping materials chosen to keep the cable mechanically quiet. This construction approach is engineered to minimize external interference and reduce signal degradation, which can translate into a more “black” background and more stable imaging.
Specially designed sleeve for flexibility without stress
Furutech specifies a specially designed sleeve intended to limit resonance and stress while remaining flexible. The structure uses high-grade soft damping polypropylene and cross-weaved hard fiber polypropylene, helping the cable maintain handling practicality while reducing mechanical strain effects that can subtly modulate performance in high-resolution systems.
Project V1-D NCF connectors and damping ring
In a flagship digital cable, the terminations matter as much as the conductor. Project V1-D uses dedicated “Project V1-D version” connectors and a cable damping ring. The connector bodies and damping rings incorporate Furutech’s special antistatic and antiresonance NCF material combined with high-grade nylon insulation. Connector conductors are specified as nonmagnetic rhodium-coated α(Alpha) pure copper, secured in NCF-insulated bodies. The housings and damping rings use 4-layer hybrid NCF carbon fiber with a hardened clear damping coating. Together, these choices target improved grip, reduced mechanically and electrically induced distortion, and a more stable interface at the equipment jacks.
Furutech also notes a practical orientation feature: the red ring on Project V1-D version connectors indicates the source side, making installation consistent and repeatable when optimizing a digital chain.
Where it fits best
Project V1-D is ideal for reference digital links where you want maximum transparency and the lowest perceived noise:
-
Transport/streamer/server → DAC (RCA or XLR digital output)
-
Digital processors and high-end studio devices (XLR digital interfaces)
-
Any system where the digital chain sounds slightly “busy,” “flat,” or lacking in depth compared to what the DAC is capable of

FEATURES
Introducing the Furutech Project V1-D, the pinnacle of high-end audio grade digital interconnect cables, meticulously crafted to elevate your audio system’s performance to unprecedented heights. Engineered with the same precision and unwavering commitment to exceptional sound quality as the Project V1 power cord, Project V1-L interconnect cable and the Project V1-T tonearm cable, this digital interconnect cable promises an extraordinary level of detail, transparency, and sonic accuracy in your music reproduction.
At its core, the Project V1-D features Furutech’s hybrid α(Alpha) silver-coated OCC inner conductor and α(Alpha) DUCC outer conductor, the same specialized copper used in the Project V1-L and Project V1. These conductors undergo a unique cryogenic and demagnetizing process, ensuring unparalleled conductivity and signal purity. The result is an immersive and lifelike audio performance that caters to dedicated audiophiles and professional sound engineers alike.
To further enhance audio quality and maintain pristine signal integrity, Furutech has incorporated their NCF (Nano Crystal2 Formula) technology into the construction of this interconnect cable. This advanced technology effectively eliminates any noise or interference, allowing you to experience unrivaled clarity, dynamics, and depth in your music.
Meticulously constructed using high-quality materials and engineering techniques, the Project V1-D features a multi-layered sheath consisting of high-grade insulation and a vibration-damping layer, akin to the tonearm cable. This construction prevents external interference, ensuring the highest quality audio transmission and minimizing signal degradation.
Furutech builds each and every cable in their line with optimized engineering solutions, advanced materials, and utterly meticulous build quality for the ultimate test. The Project V1-D series Line Cable achieves its remarkably quiet soundstage and transparent presentation with its hybrid α(Alpha) silver-coated OCC inner conductor, α(Alpha) DUCC outer conductor, three-layer shielding, double-layer sleeve, and filler. Additionally, a specially engineered cable damping ring improves grip and avoids potential distortion.
The Project V1-D series special connectors, including RCA/XLR connectors and Cable Damping rings, incorporate Furutech’s special antistatic and antiresonance NCF material combined with high-grade nylon insulation. Connector conductors are formed with nonmagnetic rhodium coated α(Alpha) pure copper secured in bodies insulated with NCF. The housings of these special connectors and Damping Rings are formed with 4-layer hybrid NCF carbon fiber, finished with a special hardened clear damping coating.

Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF)
Incorporated into selected Furutech products, NCF features a special crystalline material that has two ‘active’ properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static. Second, it converts thermal energy into far infrared. Furutech combines this remarkable material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for their additional ‘piezoelectric effect’ damping properties. The resulting Nano Crystal² Formula is the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material. Created by Furutech, it is found exclusively in Furutech products.
