Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables?

There is no "warmer sound", "more depth" , "more whatever" in digital audio. All you need is to have every send bit being received correctly, once you reached that goal there is nothing more to achieve even if you spend a fortune on your digital cables.

You tell em danip!

Just one question: did you go to sleep in 1980 and only just now wake up? Because, hate to break it to you, but perfect sound forever? That was marketing. Its not really perfect. Sorry.

Is there a difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables, or purely in the implementation?

Yes there is a difference. But implementation definitely still matters.

Take for example Synergistic Research Element cables. Element Copper and Element Tungsten are different only in the two metals. Its pretty easy to hear the differences. This is just as true by the way whether its speaker cables, power cords, analog or digital. Element CTS combines three separate cables, one of each element, and yes what you hear is the best qualities of all three combined.

So there clearly are differences in sound between copper and silver. But compare either SR Element with another cable using the same metal but made by someone else and it will be obvious just how big a role implementation plays in it.

It still boggles my mind that in this day and age we are still talking about digital as if it mattered. Because it doesn’t. Please see above. Wire is wire. How it sounds digital is how it sounds analog is how it sounds between components or the power from the wall. Or inside the speaker for that matter. Its wire. It matters. Wherever it is.
