Right, good reason for going optical, but because of secondary reasons,
not because it's optical.
I suspect that optical cables would be helpful if you have troubles with earth loops. This is one reason why studios use AES/EBU (which is basically a transformer-isolated version of S/PDIF).
Thanks Rex for a precise answer. Any cheap video cable will do then for
digital stereo coax.
I wouldn't necessarily expect a cheap video cable to be 75 ohm impedance. Having said that I've found digital inputs to be pretty tolerant of nasty reflection-filled signals.
In what way? Same phantasies, $500 cable?
$500 is nothing in the realm of "high-end" audio interconnects (or even power cables). But it's certainly more than I'd want to spend :)
