Amazon Basics Digital Audio RCA Coaxial Cable, 2.44 m, Black

Product Information

The multi award winning Performance Digital Audio cable is also perfect for connections between CD players, Blu-ray TM players or any other SPDIF source to your DAC or AV amplifier digital input. If such digital interference is audible, it’s going to completely wreck the stream - not just some sort of subtle effect - that’s how digital works, it either is or it isn’t. A coaxial (coax) cable is a shielded single copper wire used in many audio interfaces and connections, although it is not quite as common as optical connections in modern sound systems.

Assuming they're broadly similar, my thought was, do the conversion close to the source but I'm a total noob so that could be nonsense.Digital optical and digital coaxial connections are used to transfer audio signals from a DVD player to an Audio/Video (A/V) receiver or digital recording device.

Whether you’re connecting your TV to a sound bar or music server to a DAC, QED has a digital cable to meet your requirements. QED Performance cables do exactly what interconnects should, that is, maintain signal integrity and reject noise. br>
Tarnish-free 24K gold-plated connectors
Another stand-out feature with this excellent value coaxial cable is the 24K gold-plated plugs. A digital coaxial cable can be used for digital audio transmission between a Media Player, settop box, DVD or CD player to an amplifier or soundbar. While 20 years ago these sorts of misconceptions about digital signals were understandable, today it should be common knowledge that digital interference is not the same as analog interference and behaves completely differently.While some massive amount of interference might potentially flip a low bit to a high bit, if you have that level of interference in your system then something else is certainly very, very wrong, and your cable choice is the least if your worries. The hollow central pin eliminates the skin effect at high frequencies and the revised locking barrel design clamps the dual blade ground connection firmly to the RCA sockets for improved noise rejection. Although HDMI has taken over as the main socket of choice for many manufacturers, optical outputs are still common on games consoles, Blu-ray players, set-top boxes and televisions. You'll find HDMI inputs and outputs a firm fixture on the best TVs, Blu-ray players, AV receivers and, increasingly, soundbars.
