Welcome
With the help of Kondo Audio Note Japan’s pure silver conductors, the DITA
Celeste brings you a refreshed take on the silver cable, as you’ve never heard
it before — unprecedented levels of speed and clarity, with the body to match.
Possibly the first time Kondo’s silver conductors have been implemented in
portable audio, the addition of DITA’s new Awesome plug V2 makes this
groundbreaking cable the full package.
The Celeste’s white outer weave serves as a deliberate design choice referring
to the clarity and purity of Celeste’s sound, a call to users to treat this
upgrade cable and its delicate silver conductors with care.
