What is the difference between....



Okay, I am confused, what is the difference between digital and analog interconnects with XLR ends? Why or when do you use one over another?

Digital interconnect are designed to carry digital signals say between a CD transport and a digital/analog converter. Analog interconnect are used when the signal is in analog form say between your preamp and power amp. I once tried to use analog cables to carry digital signals and had all kinds of drop outs.

Thanks for the responses...this then begs the question. Between the preamp and amp is there any difference if I use xlr ended digital cables or analog from the same manufacturer?

Tx again.
