A dedicated digital Cable or XLRinterconect?

I have a Forsell transport and DAC and need a good cable btw them. Whats the difference btw a dedicated cable that has the word "digital" on it vs a ordinary XLR interconnect cable?

I too own a Forsell Air Reference transport and I personally favor either the Purist Audio Dominus RCA digital cable or Argent Audio Pursang RCA digital cable. The DAC that I am using is a Audio Logic 2400.

In Nordost terms the analog cable is comprised of seven strands and the digital 75 ohm cable is one strand while the digital 110 ohm/balanced cable is comprised of two strands. This is required for isolation of the signal and insulation from interference that analog signals are not as subject to.
