This is the beauty of digital. NO! You can tell no difference in two
different brands of anything that transmits digital signals. Now, maybe one
brand of cable will be made of more transparent or better quality optics.
All this means is that the more expensive cord will be able to transmit the
signal over a longer distance of cord. So, unless you have a hankering to
lay cable across the local body of water and digitally record from your home
deck at the park, get the cheapest dern cable you can get. And if anyone
tells you any different (i.e. an "Audiophile" magazine) you can be assured
that they are lying to you in an attempt to become some sort of strange
shaman or wizard of the audio world who can hear what you cannot, and can
tell you what you need to buy to be like one of them. Pardon me. I just
couldn't help myself.
