Back in the analog days I definitely could hear a difference with analog cables. Never did with digital cables.
The dealer I bought the Chord cables from thought I made a mistake by going “cheap”. He recommended to test various cables and that’s what I will do. I have the Canare, a set of Belden and now the Chord cables. If I can’t hear a difference I will stick with the Chord. Otherwise time to upgrade… I have 13 channels going so the cables won’t go to waste.
