In theory, yes. However: > They are both transmitting binary code not an audio signal They are actually transmitting an analogue signal that contains encoded binary code including the timing information. It is possible for this to be affected by both the SPDIF transmitter/receiver and the cable. So, it's not quite as simple as "there are no differences".
