To be fair, unless you can hear the d
I use Toslink for my SB2 digital output, mainly because it goes into a
Behringer DEQ 2496. But for those looking for a reasonably-priced
solution for 75 Ohm cables with RCA connectors for S/PDIF or analog
applications, I wrote up something on this at the link below:

I have a 300.00 Aural Symphonics coax and a 30.00 glass fiber tosslink
feeding a Lavry 10 and a modded Sonic Frontiers DAC.
Depending on the words I use to describe the differences one could
think I prefer one over the other even though the "words" describe the
same listening experience.

Does it make a material difference if the digital coax being run is 3ft
versus say 12ft? i.e any loss in signal quality?

It's pretty easy to test more directly - just send out an sp/dif signal
from the SB, say run it along a cable you want to test and then record
it on the other end using a computer. Now you have two digita

The reasoning is that the AC3 signal would not be decoded properly by
the surround receiver if it's not bit for bit. The same goes for HDCD
signals being sent to an external DAC.

I suggest Toslink, Glass Toslinks. Here is an excerpt from my post in
another thread.
Glass toslinks have surely less jitter. Electrical cables I find are
just 'hit and miss' when their impedence matches the output/input
impedence of your equipment. In pro business, everything is terminated

Sean,
Would you mind posting a link to the connectors you use? I'm looking at
rewiring my home theater and doing custom lengths. RG-6 seems it'd work
for audio interconnects and component interconnects. All I'd need then
is to find a 1 ft DVI cable.

You might want to try a high quality video or RF cable. While it's easy
to pass off pretty much anything as an s/pdif cable, for analog video
the quality of the cable is much more apparent.
Personally I use bulk RG6 and Monster QuickLock connectors for just

I use an Acoustic Zen Silver Byte cable (about $200) and thought it was
all I would ever need. Someone brought over a Virtual Dynamics Nite II
digital cable (about $700) and the improvement was shocking. Despite
that, I'm still using the AZ cable

Bought a Kimber D-60, but sold it in favor of a much cheaper cable
bought on ebay that sounded just as good if not better to me. (If I
remember correctly the ebay seller/company was Cable Solutions, and the
cable was their top of the line Canare, I believe under $65 or so).
