The last explanation about slew rate and ignores the relationship between the two. A little background in Fourier theory may clear up the lack of understanding as to the relationship between signal shape, frequency, and slew rate.
Your home audio equipment is not going to miss pulses by the changes caused by sending a pulse with fast rise and fall times through a path with a bandwidth typically available through analog interconnects.
As to T-line effects, the explanation misses the forest for the trees. The ultimate problem caused by standing waves is the rounding of the pulses.
The text proffered in the last few posts were simply lifted from elsewhere and offered as an explanation. But, they are out of context and inapplicable to the discussion at hand, which is whether digital vs analog IC's make any difference in home audio interconnects. If the person who initially posted the question is using the cables to transfer audio data in a typical fashion, i.e. from for eg. a CD transport to an outboard DAC, he doesn't need 110 ohm interconnect to do so - whcih was my original statement.
What is amazing is that this posts from Kijanki started out with a statement that bandwidth made no difference when it comes to jitter, but yet now offers quotes that refer to the importance of bandwidth. The reason for this contradiction appears to be a lack of a firm grounding in the meaning of the terms and effects discussed i.e. slew rate, frequency, bandwidth, and t-line effects.
