Technical and speculative discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Re: Yes and No...

While impedance match in a transmission line is not important from a standpoint of insertion loss in lengths less than 1/4 wavelength, it is important as far a signal reflection at the mismatch. Reflected signals in S/PDIF result in increased jitter, which is to be avoided at all cost. A proper 75 ohm cable and termination is a crucial starting point to good digital cable design. Then you can address issues such as proper material choices and construction techniques.
