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

HDMI cables are the biggest pile of junk I have found.

I’d qualify that if you’re using HDMI to utilize the i2S input on a DAC.  I did that and it kicked the living crap out of running SPDIF. 

With all factors being even, which cable reproduces the cleanest signal.

That’s a fallacy.  You’re looking for something that simply doesn’t exist.  You’re also leaving out noise and shielding, which inputs are optimized on which component, etc..  There are simply too many variables to say “all factors being even.”
