.... as far as I can see theyre just RCA or phono cables, just in the way that an AES/EBU connection is run through XLR, and an xlr cable works fine.... or does it?
anyway, does that mean I can use any RCA typpe lead to connect say a preamp's spdif output to my interface? or would I be sacrificing quality in some way and should I invest in a 'proper' spdif cable?
its just that theres a lot of bollocks out there about having to use gold plated oxygen free cables when a lot of people say that its totally unnecessary, after all its just an electric current running through a wire. whats the reality?
