Easy. Get a short and a long digital coax cable. Try them both. You could either: a.) hear no difference between the two, or b.) hear the difference If a.), then who cares. If b.), then stick with the one that sounds better. Or, c.) -- you're afflicted with extremely low self-esteem and cannot trust your own organism to decide what's pleasant and what's not. In which case, there is professional help available (at a reasonable price, I'm sure). -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322
