What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
@cleeds Why would I need to do such testing when measurements can be done? Listening tests for audibility thresholds are one thing, but as the data hasn’t shown the differences to be anywhere near audibility thresholds, it would be mostly a worth...

@cleeds So, you are unable to explain how a digital cable can sound different? I assume you are thus stating your stance is not faith-based? How can you state your stance is factual, with just experience/testimonial, did the people who believed t...

@cleeds So, I have to hear it to believe it? No explanations as to how? @almarg Thanks for the detailed response. This assumes that the reclocking circuitry performs in a theoretically ideal manner. Meaning that it reduces jitter to zero, or at... 
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
@folkfreak We have differing definitions then. What you described I would mostly file under imaging. I define soundstage as the width/height/depth of the sound, and everything that happens within that in regards to the size and placement of voice... 
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
@folkfreak you have to believe that superior clocking can improve the performance of a digital system I do believe it needs to be of sufficient quality to avoid audible jitter. can improve soundstaging and definition “Definition” is a non-descri...

@cleeds What evidence, other than testimonial, has been offered to suggest digital cables can be sonically different (exempting noise rejection)? 
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
@davidpritchard Wow, he trashes (won’t even rank them, places them in the “graveyard”) the BNC cables from Mogami, Canare, Belden, BlueJeans, and Amphenol. I almost stopped reading right there. Those are some of the most trusted brands out there,...

@cleeds If one argues against data, they don’t owe proof, but it should be provided if one wishes to best back up such a stance.I make no claims on whether or not you hear a digital cable as sounding better/different than another. I do make claim...

@geoffkait Those potential other factors are what I’m trying to pinpoint. Let’s say better bass response, if one says “My Nordost USB cable has more bass over the AmazonBasics USB, which sounded thin.”, that means the loudness of the bass was diff... 
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
@geoffkait You mean the quality of the voltage/current? As I pointed out, noise-rejection is the only factor then.I ask how one digital cable can have more bass than another, or a more forward sound, or better instrument separation. These aren’t ...

@geoffkait Still, you believe data cables can alter tonal balance, stereo separation, etc.? If so, I ask for an explanation as to how it can actively alter a digital transmission. 
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
@geoffkait Data cables using Star-quad wiring do have much better noise rejection. However, I doubt you have ever in your life heard a Toslink cable that caused audible noise/coloration/etc. to your music, unless you have Superman level hearing w... 
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
@geoffkait So what, you are saying a USB cable between a source and DAC can make the sound warmer because it has more voltage? If a data cable doesn’t have sufficient bandwidth, the signal either drops out or stops to buffer. Transient response... 
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
@tomic601 One can easily say to ignore people who claim that one data cable sounds more toward sounding and Hi-Fi like than another data cable. Binary is binary, as long as noise isn’t picked up, that’s transmission is identical.It’s like saying... 
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
@cleeds Ones going against data should offer up the proof. Can you find any studies that show a $30 digital cable and a $3000 digital cable have tonal differences? I’m unfortunately not well off enough to be able to spend $4K on a digital cable. A...
