"That said, according to Bob Smith of Aether Audio/NuForce Inc, Bobstates he used to be a hard-nose, cables-make-no-difference type until he heard something that changed his mind.

This falls into the same category as "even my wife - who hates audio - heard it."
Anecdotal stories such as these are a soothing balm for those who desperately seek reassurance that their positions are valid.
For the record, I am a subjectivist but recognize - and admit publically - that bias undoubtedly colors my opinions, and what I think I hear. I came to terms with this a long time ago, and sleep well at night.

Just remember, if your system doesn't suck , you'll need to spend $400-$500 on an S/PDIF cable. And I'd be more than happy to sell you one of course!
