Hi. I have a pair of interconnects with male RCA connectors on both ends. I suspect they may be a set of digital cables, but I'm not sure and they are not labelled as such. There is a 'signal direction' arrow on each cable, and a molded lump at the downstream end of each one.
Is there an electrical test I can perform, such as checking for resistance; or some other characteristic that would tell me whether they are 'digital' cables or plain audio interconnects?
Thanks!

- I don't know, but the "molded lump" certainly has me thinking this must be something very special! ;) (nt) - willkayakforfood 14:44:54 08/15/12 (0)
