Just got my Meridian F80 and found that its digital in is a mic jack which also dual as analog in. I am used to RCA digital out from my SB2 to balanced in for my Benchmark.
I went to an A/V shop and asked for a digital coaxial cable with RCA on one end and mic jack on the other. The salesman gave me an cheapo analog RCA cable with mic jack on the other end which is usually used for analog. The salesman told me that the cable can be used in both analog and digital. (1) Is this true? (2) If it works, would the sound be compromised? (3) What is the difference between an analog and digital cable? -- agentsmith SB2, Pioneer DV-S733A, Benchmark DAC1, Naim Nait 5i, Naim Ariva Speakers.
