In Reply to: Re: How do you explain the sonic differences in digital cables? posted by Todd Krieger on December 8, 2002 at 22:03:09:
but everything i know about digital transmission goes against what you say. A simple buffer holding 1/10 of a second of samples decouples all the jitter issues. The R/S coding using CRC takes care of most of the ocasional bit errros. Remember for a 3 foot link you have to make pretty lousy electronics to fall below 10-e8 BER. The RFI issue is non existent for optical links. So what else is there to make one cable be splashy and the other more natural. In theory there should be a measurable received error rate with one cable that is diferent from the other. Is it just crappy receive logic design, lousy clock recovery, bad PSU design? What is it? I have a hard time chackin' it up to BER and jitter.dee
