Digital optical and coaxial cables

The connection between your TV and amplifier, or between your CD player and DAC, is crucial for good sound. Choosing the right digital cable, whether optical or coaxial, prevents timing errors ("jitter"), the main culprit in harsh and unnatural digital sound. While coaxial cables maintain a precise 75-ohm impedance for clean electrical transmission, optical (Toslink) cables, with their light signal, completely eliminate the transmission of electrical noise. Regardless of the technology, the job of a quality digital cable is the same: to ensure that your system receives a pristine signal, full of detail and dynamics.
