Important Interconnect Question

How detrimental is it to not have a digital cable connecting a transport and a outboard dac? I was sold a analog interconnect by a dealer with whom I have a long standing affliation. I'm a bit embarassed to be even asking this but i assumed I was buying a digital cable. I'm not a 100% positive but very suspicious. I'm going to check when I get home.

I've heard and read that it's extremely difficult to construct a digital link terminated in an RCA plug (the standard "digital" out) that is actually a 75 ohm cable, although many are advertised as such.

My current favorite digital cable (Mapleshade) is basically one-half of an analog pair.
