PLiXiR GX16-4
Choose this version for a suitable PLiXiR power supply with the corresponding GX16-4 connection. Have the suitability for your specific power supply model confirmed.
You invest in a high-quality power supply to give your audio components a carefully designed power foundation. The PLiXiR The Statement DC Power Cable MK II extends that attention all the way to the DC input of your device. Silver-plated UPOCC copper conductors, enhanced shielding, and specially developed PLiXiR connectors together form a high-end DC cable for suitable DACs, streamers, and other externally powered components.
The MK II is more than a minor update of the original Statement DC cable. PLiXiR has redesigned both the conductor construction as well as the shielding and connectors. The result, according to the manufacturer, is lower impedance, greater current capacity, and a lower noise floor than its predecessor.
The cable is available in lengths of 1, 1.5, and 2 meters, with various connections for the power supply side and a choice of a 2.1mm or 2.5mm plug on the device side. This allows you to match the connection to both your power supply and your audio component.
Between an external power supply and your audio component lies a connection that is easily overlooked: the DC cable. The Statement DC Power Cable MK II was developed for those who also want to carefully address this part of the power chain.
The design focuses on the conduction of the power current, shielding against external electrical interference, and the quality of the contact transitions. To achieve this, PLiXiR combines high-quality conductor materials with a further refined cable construction and proprietary connectors.
The original Statement DC cable used silver-plated OFC copper in a multi-strand construction. For the MK II, PLiXiR opts for high-purity silver-plated UPOCC copper in a multi-solid-core construction: multiple solid conductors instead of a bundle of fine wires.
UPOCC refers to a continuous casting process according to the Ohno principle. PLiXiR describes the copper used as long-crystalline and highly pure. In combination with the thicker conductors, this forms the basis of the updated cable construction.
According to the manufacturer, this construction, together with the other design adjustments, delivers lower impedance and greater current capacity than the original Statement DC cable. PLiXiR does not publish a specific current limit for the MK II on the product page.
The Statement DC Power Cable MK II receives not only thicker conductors, but also further refined shielding. PLiXiR adds an additional copper foil shield and increases the shielding coverage.
According to the manufacturer, this improves the suppression of high-frequency interference. The goal is a carefully shielded DC connection that matches a high-quality external power supply.
Teflon is used both in the cable construction and in the newly developed PLiXiR connectors. This means the design pays attention not only to the conductor material, but also to the insulation around it.
A high-quality cable construction is only one part of the connection. The connectors also determine how the cable connects to the power supply and the device. Therefore, PLiXiR developed new GX16-4, DC 2.1, and DC 2.5 connectors for the Statement MK II.
Instead of standard brass contacts with plastic insulation, these PLiXiR connectors use fully copper contacts with gold plating. This helps prevent the gold plating from oxidizing. Teflon is used as a dielectric insulation material.
This makes the MK II a complete cable connection: not only with new conductors, but also with connectors that are matched to the design.
| Component | Original Statement DC | Statement DC Power Cable MK II |
|---|---|---|
| Conductor material | Silver-plated OFC copper | High-purity silver-plated UPOCC copper |
| Conductor construction | Multi-strand | Multi-solid-core |
| Conductor thickness | Original version | Thicker conductors according to PLiXiR |
| Shielding | Original shielding construction | Enhanced shielding with additional copper foil |
| Connector development | Original connector version | Newly developed PLiXiR connectors with gold-plated copper contacts and Teflon |
| Stated design result | Reference for the comparison | According to PLiXiR, lower impedance, greater current capacity, and a lower noise floor |
Compared to the original Statement DC cable, the Statement MK II offers a lower noise floor, better layering, and a more accurate sense of timing and dynamics.
The manufacturer also mentions more body and better-audible nuances, while maintaining the natural, neutral character that PLiXiR strives for. This is not just about individual details, but about the way sound, rhythm, and dynamics together form a musical performance.
The Statement DC Power Cable MK II is offered with various connector combinations. Do not choose the cable solely based on the brand name or the appearance of the connection: the pin layout and polarity must also match.
Choose this version for a suitable PLiXiR power supply with the corresponding GX16-4 connection. Have the suitability for your specific power supply model confirmed.
PLiXiR offers a separate FARAD S3 version. Do not automatically treat this as interchangeable with the PLiXiR GX16-4 version, even if the connectors look similar.
For suitable power supplies with a DC binding post connection, 2.1mm and 2.5mm versions are also available. Check the full plug size, polarity, and allowed load.
On the device side, you choose a 2.1mm or 2.5mm plug. Match this to the DC input of your DAC, streamer, digital interface, or other suitable component.
The Statement DC Power Cable MK II connects the DC output of a suitable external power supply to the DC input of your audio component. It is not an AC mains cable, digital signal cable, or standalone power supply.
Are you using two devices on a Dual Output power supply? Then each device has its own DC connection. If you want to upgrade both connections, you need two separately matched cables.
The three available lengths give you room to place the power supply and equipment practically. Choose a length that properly bridges the distance without putting the cable or connectors under strain.
Before ordering, check both the length and the connector on each side. One cable type may be available in multiple, non-interchangeable connection options.

Yes. PLiXiR offers a separate FARAD S3 GX16-4 version. Choose this specifically for the intended application and do not interchange it with the PLiXiR version without checking.
No. The cable does not change the specifications of your power supply. The allowed load remains limited by the power supply, cable, connectors, and connected device.
The cable is suitable for all DC voltages.
One cable per connected device. If you want to replace two existing DC connections, you need two suitable Statement DC Power Cable MK II cables.
