Hi.
my question is that you can purchase expensive optical cables specifically the one used to link your sound card to a digital sound system or home cinema system, but what is the actual benefit of this?
I am aware that the pulse sent down the cable will distort, due to multi-path dispersion, but does this really matter as it is only sending a pulse, that will be sent through a logic gate and tured into a 1 or 0 output, so surely as long as the signal reaches its detination there isnt any point to a high end optical cable, except over long distances, wich most sound systems arent!!!
so can someone please tell me, am i being stupid or are these expensive optical cables more of a show piece than, an actual worthwhile purchase
Regards
