help with digital coax, please !
Posted by Nigel Pond [SysOp] [IP: 206.241.18.4] on July 08, 1999 at 15:12:49 In Reply to: help with digital coax, please ! posted by Andrew on July 08, 1999 at 14:16:07: Andrew The specification for SPDIF digital audio coax and composite video cables is the same - shielded, 75 ohm impedance, coaxial cable. A cable that meets this spec should work fine for both applications. Having said that, before you spend fairly big money on Monster cable, try a composite video cable of the right length from Radio Shack's gold plated line - it will be much cheaper and I'll bet you will not notice any difference. The thing that people forget about digital audio is that it is a stream of ones and zeroes - either they get to the receiver from the source of they don't, they can't sort of get there - it's pretty unlikely that the characteristics of a particularly cable will change the way digital audio sounds. Even more so with DD and DTS bitstreams where the data is sent in packets - I have yet to hear any difference between digital coax cables for that application, and that goes for $300+ MIT jobs down to the Radio Shack cables. Just MHO and 2p worth.
