Topic: M Audio Audiophile 2496 question

[leehookem]

just wondering if upgrading the breakout cable for Audiophile 2496 is worth it.  if so, what options are recommended?

[nic]

why would you upgrade the cable? what purpose would it serve?
every connection on that cable is digital, not analog.

 

[leehookem]

correct.  but how come there are a billion different digital cables available?  didn't know if anyone had any experience with an upgrade.

1 - for very long runs it makes a difference
2 - audiophiles are suckers, believing that expensive things makes everything better. And there are companies taking advantage of that.

For the rest of us, don´t change it if it works. Digital is exactly that, 0 or 1, either works or not. Of course quality does count on connectors (not breaking), cables (staying flexible in cold weather, resistance to repeated bending and so on).
