Digital cables, among other things, are designed with 75ohm impedance, which is meant for compatibility with the digital input/output characteristics of the components.

For me, the sound is different although I didnt believe it at first and was using an IC for digital connection. I started with the Signal and now use an Acoustic Zen MC2. Regards,
