It is 1's and 0's, actually. That's why we can download digital music off the internet (which is fully of all kinds of dubious connectors and cables, I assure you) and it all sounds the same (as long as the checksums are right, I suppose).
However, there are some digital systems that have a dependency on jitter between the transport and the DAC. And there are those who would argue (with zero scientific evidence) that cables and connectors make a difference. My own opinion is that I'm not sure, so I've got some pretty expensive cables in my system. Do i hear a difference between an expensive cable and the cheap cable is replaced? Of course I do. Is that just my imagination based on how much I want to like my shiny, new, expensive cable? Probably.
