Actually, no. There is a theoretical difference but despite having several dedicated digital cables, I am using standard interconnect between my transport and DAC. I am a Van den Hul dealer and have both their digital cable , although not the very expensive one, and and regular ones and find the Second and The First Ultimate to be better than the $250 digital. But be warned, cables can sound very different and are very system dependent and are a matter of personal choice. Above poster correct, optical only useful for extremely long runs. Try your standard cables and see what you think.
