Short version. I believe in digital tranfer methods so much that i dont atribute " analog characterists " to them ( ie sweeter treble ).
And they work perfectly and transparently with good spec normal cables nothingfancy needed. The asyncrounus tranfers merhods and mostly the ethernet protocoll is so robust that it works fine even with out of spec cables as long as its fast enogh the Data gets corrected and buffered anyway . Spdiff with its 1979 origin is somewhat timing sensitive . Another funny thing spdiff should really use bnc conectors but most audibrands scrap that because the impedance mismatch you get with RCA dont rock the boat on these very short distances . You are aware of the test where someone used a straightened out steel coat hanger instead of 1m spdiff . It worked just fine -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
