"It is metal wire, not optical fiber. I'm very skeptical that fiber wires could have directions, but who knows? We might listen to some one day."
However, it becomes increasingly suspicious that now, apparently, even with a digital signal being sent through a wire, there are claims that the direction of the wire affects the sound. I am not too familiar with the S/PDIF transmission protocols, and maybe someone more knowledgeable could explain how it operates. But I would suppose that, unless there is some fault in the system, it should be capable of error-free transmission of the digital code?
It does, on the face of it, seem to reinforce the idea that the "directionality" of the cable is entirely in the imagination of the listener.
