Digital Cable on Digital Cable Tv Box

Could you be more specific? Do you mean from the wall? from the box to the tv (video)? for digital audio signals?

I guess than depends if the $250 cable is better than a Canare or Belden digital cable made to audiophile standards like an Apogee or one of the other $69 jobs.

I usually suspect that many in the $250 and up market are not materially better, just a different pricing structure. They seem to be the bottom end of designer cords.

Very few of the channels put out a digital signal-mostly just pay per view. But I only use the digital output from my satellite receiver. The AV receiver then puts it in either analog or digital domain depending on what it is. Whe I changed from just a pair of analog cables to the glass optical($30) cable from capnstarsnstripe ?, I noticed a noticeable improvement in dialog clarity so that I didn't have to have the volume up so high to hear.

I am talking about an improvement in a digital cable from the cable box to a preamp. I am considering the audioquest hawk eye or eagle eye. Thanks

I have a long run from satellite box to DAC and did not know how much difference a decent cable would make, so I ordered a 3M Better Cables Silver Serpent. I am impressed with the quality on this "bargain" cable. I play the music channels on Direct TV through my Dodson 218 and they sound pretty darn good considering the source limitations.
