Nylith

Woven to be forgotten.

The name joins nylon to -lith, the Greek for stone: a woven skin that feels like fabric, over a core of fine-drawn copper. Nylith is made for full-size headphones and the desk they live on, and at 35 g it is the last thing you notice.

Mò Zhī · Ink-Black Weave

5N UP-OCC copper purity
60 Strands per conductor
24 AWG Per conductor
35 g Cable weight

Construction

5N UP-OCC Copper

Each conductor is 5N (99.999%) UP-OCC copper. Ohno continuous casting draws the copper into long, continuous crystals, so the signal crosses fewer grain boundaries along the way.

Sixty strands of that copper make up each conductor, for 24 AWG.

Sleeve

Nylon You Can Feel

Nylith is sleeved by hand in black nylon multifilament, close-woven and soft to the touch. It drapes like fabric rather than springing back like rubber, and the black stays looking clean on the desk.

The Solo build wears a 4 mm sleeve on the main run and 2.4 mm on each leg after the Y-split. The Braided build takes two 2.4 mm nylon-sleeved leads and braids them from end to end, for USD 10 more.

Detail

Signed at the Split

The Y-split carries a pierced nameplate: the NA mark and the Nylith name side by side, with Null Audio along its edge.

Length

Made for the Desk

Nylith comes at 1.5 m as standard, an easy reach from your headphones to an amp or DAC on the desk. Set any length from 50 cm to 3 m in the configurator.

Sound Guide

Nylith is copper through and through: warm, with bass that has body and a wide, open stage. The treble is smooth rather than bright, so long sessions stay easy.

Ratings are Null Audio’s sound notes, out of 10.

Material

Nylon, not polyester.

Most braided cables are sleeved in polyester. It is the cheaper fibre, and from a distance the two look alike. Nylith is sleeved in nylon multifilament, which costs more by the metre and repays it where you notice: in the hand, at the edge of the desk, and on the scale. Nylon is the tougher of the two against wear and the softer of the two to touch. It gives a little under a tug and springs back, so the weave stays close, and for the same sleeve it weighs less.

Nylon, not polyester.
Feature	Nylon (Nylith)	Polyester (most cables)
Wear	Among the most abrasion-resistant fibres; the weave holds where it rubs	Scuffs and frays sooner where it rubs
To the touch	Soft and smooth; drapes like fabric	Crisper and stiffer, closer to plastic
Under a tug	Gives a little and springs back; the weave stays close	Stiffer, and gives less
Weight	1.14 g/cm³	1.38 g/cm³, about a fifth heavier for the same sleeve
Cost	More per metre	The cheaper fibre, and so the common one

Drag to compare

Build

One sleeve, or two leads.

The same copper, the same black nylon, the same hand sleeving. Solo runs as a single 4 mm sleeve to the Y-split, and is the lighter and softer of the two. Braided twists two 2.4 mm leads together from end to end, for a round, plaited line all the way along. Choose either in the configurator above.

Care

Caring for Your Cable

Coil it loosely in large loops and keep it in the included leather pouch when you’re on the move.

Unplug by holding the connector, not the cable, and avoid sharp bends right at the plugs.

Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, and keep it away from solvents and alcohol-based cleaners.

Every cable has a 1-year warranty. If anything goes wrong, contact us and we’ll take care of it.

Questions

Good to know

Check your headphone’s plug

What does USD 59 include?

A 1.5 m Nylith with your headphone connector and a 3.5 mm, 4.4 mm or 6.35 mm player plug. The Braided build adds USD 10, LEMO and Dan Clark connectors add USD 50, and a longer cable costs more; the configurator shows the price before you add to cart.

Solo or Braided?

Both use the same copper and the same black nylon. Solo has a 4 mm sleeve on the main run and 2.4 mm on each leg after the Y-split; it is the lighter and softer of the two. Braided twists two 2.4 mm nylon-sleeved leads together from end to end, for a round, plaited look all the way along. Braided costs USD 10 more.

What is UP-OCC copper?

UP-OCC is copper made by Ohno continuous casting, which draws it into long, continuous crystals instead of many small grains. The signal crosses fewer grain boundaries along the way. Nylith uses 5N (99.999%) UP-OCC copper.

How is a Nylith conductor built?

Each conductor is 60 strands of 5N UP-OCC copper, for 24 AWG.

Can I get a different length?

Yes. Choose Cable length in the configurator above: set any length from 50 cm to 3 m in 2 cm steps. Up to the standard 1.5 m costs nothing extra; longer cables cost more, and the price is shown before you add to cart.

For a length over 3 m, contact us or WhatsApp +65-8731-5476.

Does Nylith work with in-ear monitors?

No. Nylith is made for full-size headphones only, with no in-ear monitor connectors.

What is the return policy?

Any build you choose from the options on this page, at 1.2 m or longer, can be returned or exchanged within 14 days of confirmed delivery if unused and in its original packaging. Returns carry a 30% restocking fee and exchanges none; shipping is not refunded.

Cables with an inline microphone and cables shorter than 1.2 m cannot be returned or exchanged for a change of mind. Faults are a different matter: every cable has a 1-year warranty, so contact support@null-audio.com and we will assess it.
