Thumbs up to that. 
Ok, but does your audio gear have rotons (metamaterials)?
To start a new paragraph type four spaces after the period then return twice.    Einstein replied, "So, you're telling me the moon doesn't exist, until I look at it?"   For some reason I am drawn to this comment.    A very interesting experiment...

So, you want to break digital into two bits.  
Can an unused cable break in?
Off is off. No current when off. Zero. None. Nada. Zip. It is the very definition of OFF. Off in other words means off.Now if you want to redefine off as some lesser but still non-zero amount of current is flowing through a closed- not open, close...

How old are you?
