Description
NISHIKI, meet FUGAKU.
The finale of the 10th anniversary projects
The NISHIKI cable series, developed in 2025 to commemorate Brise Audio’s 10th anniversary, is built around the NISHIKI conductor — silver and copper wires combined in a proprietary ratio, finished with gold plating and a polyurethane coating. By combining this conductor with the sound-quality enhancement techniques Brise Audio has refined over ten years, together with a range of new materials, the series achieves a sound that is calm and unforced in tone, yet highly expressive, with rich timbre and fine tonal gradation.
What kind of sound would FUGAKU produce if it were equipped with the NISHIKI cable series? That question was the starting point for the FUGAKU 10th Anniversary Edition — the finale of Brise Audio’s 10th anniversary projects.
Starting from the FUGAKU released in 2024, the changes below have been made, with tuning dedicated to this 10th Anniversary Edition. Built upon FUGAKU’s detailed expression and realism, it delivers a sound that envelops the listener like an ocean of sound — a comfortable, immersive way to enjoy music.
The Marks of the 10th Anniversary Edition
Four changes from the standard FUGAKU
01
NISHIKI Wire
A signal path unified with NISHIKI
The dedicated cable connecting the amplifier and earphones is the NISHIKI 16wire Ultimate for FUGAKU 10th AE, with sound-quality enhancement processing developed for this system. Its 16-conductor configuration — which independently drives the 5-way drivers with a total of 12 power-amplifier channels — is combined with the character of the NISHIKI wire.
NISHIKI wire is also used for the internal wiring that connects the input and output boards of the dedicated amplifier. By unifying the path from input to output with NISHIKI wire, its tonal character is carried throughout the entire system.
02
PVD Gold Titanium
Pure titanium, clad in the theme color
The earphone housings use pure titanium in a PVD gold color — Brise Audio’s theme color, evoking the image of NISHIKI. Pure titanium, which has a moderate resonance with few of the colorations typical of metals, is given a finish befitting an anniversary model.
The dedicated amplifier pairs a pure-titanium chassis in PVD black coating, expressing the theme color, with a pure-titanium volume knob in PVD gold, shaping the world of the 10th AE through the contrast of black and gold.
03
HCNT
The latest material, HCNT, throughout
HCNT, the latest material introduced with NISHIKI, is used in the 10th AE as well, as one of the materials in its sound-quality enhancement processing. It is deployed across the entire system — the drivers inside the earphones, the components of the dedicated amplifier, the dedicated cable, and the included interconnect cable.
Which materials to place where, and in what order — by adding HCNT as a new option to the sound-quality enhancement know-how refined over many years, the tuning for the 10th AE was carried further.
04
Crossover Tuning
A dedicated sound curve attuned to NISHIKI
Because FUGAKU handles band division with the active crossover inside the dedicated amplifier, its frequency response can be designed freely. The 10th AE takes advantage of this to set a new, dedicated sound curve that incorporates the sonic character of the NISHIKI wire.
By combining NISHIKI’s calm, unforced tone with FUGAKU’s detailed expression and realism, it aims for a comfortable, immersive listening experience — as though enveloped in an ocean of sound.
The Platform
The FUGAKU Platform
Hybrid drivers × full-analog multi-amplifier
Substance and compactness, together
10-ch active crossover + 12-ch power amplifier (left/right total)
The low range is driven in balanced mode and the other ranges in unbalanced mode, with a dedicated power amplifier directly driving each driver in every band. A power-supply design that prevents inter-circuit interference and dense three-dimensional packaging fit this substance into a palm-sized chassis.
Included Interconnect
Included Mini-to-Mini Cable
NISHIKI MINI for FUGAKU 10th AE
A special mini-to-mini cable made with NISHIKI wire is included to connect your player to the dedicated amplifier. Its four signal conductors use NISHIKI wire of gold-plated pure copper and gold-plated pure silver, wrapped in an outer shield of gold-plated pure copper. Two such cables are used to fully separate the left and right channels. It carries the same NISHIKI voicing as the dedicated cable, unifying the signal path from input to output.
