Why do digital coax cables matter?


Could somebody please explain this to me? Why does a $100 dollar cable sound better than a $50 cable. Why is silver coax better than copper coax? Why do the quality of connectors matter in the digital realm?

I'm currently needing a cable for a Stello U3. Some people claim that are no discernible differences out there b/t different levels of coax cables. They say the only things that matter are impedance,cable length, and adequate shielding.

Huge thanks for that eloquent explanation Steve. I was hoping you would see this thread. It's making much more sense to me now. One of the best threads on these Audiogon forums I have read in fact. Thanks again.
