Digital Cables and Analog...interchangable?


In other words; am I losing data or eroding sound by using a great analog interconnect (Vahalla) in place of a digital cable b/t my CD player and DAC? thanks.

Digital are 60 ohm and analog stereo 75? Here I've been thinking proper impedance for digital interconnects was 75 ohm, at least for SP/DIF.
I guess I always thought digital was 75 ohm. I know Rick Shultz at Virtual Dynamics says you can interchange them and they are exactly the same. I have a virtual digital revelation signature and have thought of getting another digital rev signature to get a pair for analog rca interconnects.
why not just try the analog interconnect as a digital cable and hear the affect on the sound of your stereo system ?
As I understand it, digital coaxial cables are 75 ohm and digital AES/EBU (XLR connectors) cables are 110 ohm. That said, I have used half an analog pair cable in place of a digital cable at times and it can work fine. Whether the digital coax or the analog sounds better in your system will be for you to decide. I use the AES/EBU and it sounds best to me.
