Everything Matters With Digital

Slim to none.  That is not relevant to the conversation.  What matters is timing and the integrity of the square wave.  Ringing and overshoot are responsible for most error correction, then data dropouts

I think jaybe is trying to be eriksquires. Yes, of course, everything matters; no matter what douglas_schroeder says...

Don't you mean mc?

I’ve been upgrading my digital coax cable slowly, for a couple years. THERE ARE BIG SOUND DIFFERENCES IN DIGITAL CABLES. 

If you can’t hear the difference:

1. You aren’t a good listener 
2. Your system is not revealing enough. 3. You made a lateral move in your cable “upgrade” instead of a vertical one.

 

Digital audio is rapidly growing.  Besides servers, streamers, DACs, players, and transports, there are more and more products that lower noise floor within the audio chain.  There’s also a growing number of Ethernet related audio products including audiophile cable and switches.  Some have reported sonic benefits from using multiple switches.  
A few of these products benefit from switching to linear power supplies (LPS), external master clocks, which in turn each require cabling.  

In addition to my digital audio chain (server/streamer, upscaler, DAC) I’m still debating how far to go down this digital-upgrading $ rabbit hole.
