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 line/high level connections where capacitance, resistance, impedance, etc. are factors than can have effects if brought to extremes.

And to others users, just like how I don’t need to travel around the world to know it’s not flat, I don’t need to listen to expensive data cables to know they can’t result in better stereo separation.

I hate to judge before all the facts are in but there are apparently other factors, as I just commented. I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. 

@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 different. Data is transmitted in binary packets and hopefully in discrete time (clock sync, or hopefully reclocked to better remove jitter), so for one data cable to have less bass, that means the data has to have been altered, as it’s not like in analog interconnects where simply using a different gauge can cause measurable differences.

I’m no electrical engineer (I , so I could be wrong.

I too bought Nordost Silver Shadow from Buff, great deals he has on them.
However I can state without question that the move up to the Heimdall 2 was huge...…..

One post from Tatyana seemed to get buried but I will pick up on it.

I have found on my C.E.C transport that I much prefer the sound using the AES/EBU over regular coax or BNC connections.

Do not have a hugely expensive AES cable but will likely be trying one out very soon to see if I can discern any further increase in sonics.
