Listen "The critical role of the digital audio cable"
Episode Synopsis
A digital cable just passes ones and zeros… right? Not so fast. In this episode, we explore the critical role of the digital audio cable, drawing from The Audiophile’s Guide to unpack why timing, noise, and construction can make a real difference. Whether it’s USB, coax, AES/EBU, or optical, the cable’s job isn’t just delivery—it’s delivery with precision. If you’ve ever wondered how a string of bits can change how your music feels, this one goes beneath the surface.The Audiophile’s Guide publishes daily. Want to learn more or join the HiFi Family?
