Spec-chart for digital cables


Don’t want to start a flame war but looking for a comparison chart for the specs on digital cables.

I have read multiple articles, digital coaxial vs optical vs HDMI vs USB, I would like a comparison chart showing bandwidth, through put etc.

I seem to read that USB provides the widest, followed by coaxial but would like to see a true comparison chart.

Also, would entertain a discussion of opinion of users, what experiences have users found?

Lastly, I understand the conversation might want to direct to the material of construction, but I would like to stick to the direct fact of the cable

To your point, I will agree that digital is still garbage in/garbage out.

 

For streaming you have packet loss, latency, bandwidth etc. which effect the signal prior to reception, so I am looking to ignore these and do a direct comparison of cable formats. With all factors being even, which cable reproduces the cleanest signal.

 

And yes I understand that cable construction will also effect the system, so we don’t need to head down that tangent.
