Do you have any thoughts on the relative importance of break-in for digital vs analog cables, based on theory, experience or other reference? I have read in several threads here about people breaking-in their digital cables, and I... | |
| Audio Sensibility Statement Digital Cable Ozzy and Devilboy, so you both have experience with break-in being important for digital cables as well? Trying to figure out how dielectric interacts with high frequency digital signals versus analog signals. Maybe it is even more critical for di... | |

| HDMI Cables Thx-333. I'd say the consensus here is split down the middle. I think different digital cables definitely sound different based on my limited experience, including HDMI cables. May I suggest you buy a couple of cables, the Monoprice that seems to ... | |

| XLR or RCA? OK, in theory from this discussion should I take it that, all materials being equal, XLR cables are more resistant to noise than RCA cables? That noise can be both a function of cable length and EMF environment? And furthermore should I assume tha... | |
| "best" 3.5mm to RCA cable Any updates on this? What are you using for your AQ Dragonfly? I am currently running the version 1.2 which I think is quite good, and am now more open on price if you have noticed a significant difference in your setup and can make a solid recomm... | |
