Eliminating noise
Noise is pervasive in untreated networks, and if it reaches the DAC it hugely diminishes the listening experience.
Reiki Audio’s universe centres on the streamer: our range of devices and cables is designed to provide the cleanest possible signal environment for the streamer.
Vibration
In developing our flagship JundoStream, we were surprised and delighted by the difference adding silk braid made through its ability to suppress micro-vibrations.
Our Kinu range incorporates silk to further optimise our already exceptional Raku series of cables.

Hear every detail
Combining comprehensive multi-faceted shielding and anti-vibration silk with a new conductor topology delivers crystal clear sound.
If you want to hear every detail of the music, the KinuStream deserves its place in your system.
Silent power
A high quality DC cable underpins the overall sonic performance of the very best devices and their world class power supplies.
Low resistance conductors and high quality and plugs are essential; shielding should be comprehensive and directionally grounded to prevent conducted noise. Micro-vibrations should be eliminated to prevent conduction between devices.
Leaving no stone unturned
To achieve the lowest possible noise floor, it is not enough to focus solely on the streamer itself. Every connection to and from it must deliver flawless connectivity whilst being equipped to nullify both noise ingress and vibration.
From PSU to switch, and from switch to streamer, our cables prevent noise ingress at every opportunity.

Plus or Pro?
Both models share an identical shielding and anti-vibration architecture.
KinuDC Plus retains the silver coated copper conductors of the RakuDC range.
KinuDC Pro is our response to customer demand for a true reference level DC cable to grace the finest systems in the world. To all the design attributes of the KinuDC Plus, it adds pure (5N) silver conductors to provide unrivalled conductivity.
Designed, engineered and hand-assembled in the UK
All Kinu cables are prototyped, designed, assembled and tested in house for functional and sonic performance.
