Sorry about this kids i have to very much so disagree with this statement
that "you can tell no difference in two different brands of anything that
transmits digital signals" there are many variables involved here that you
should look into especially if you are using SPDIF digital and not optical.
But anyway to start out with if i have 2 completely different systems that
are outputting a digital signal and one uses a cheap/bad DAC and the other
uses a high quality DAC there will be a large sound difference that one will
notice. Next the statement that nothing will affect a digital signal, well
that's just wrong also. If you are using a non optical digital courd there
are many things that can affect the signals. Shielding is very important on
these because of that. Data can be distorted believe it or not. I will not
go into specifics of this because nobody here really cares, just make sure
you get something descent and not a cheap cord. Anyway just my 2 cents
Later
Matt
