It's conceivable that really poor (high capacitance) or extra long interconnects can make a difference to an analogue signal - especially if high impedance valve equipment is used. So for those who don't *want* to understand any theory, *all* interconnects can make a difference. That the signal is digital makes no difference to this thinking at all. -- *If at first you don't succeed, redefine success. Dave Plowman London SW 12 RIP Acorn |

Never can get used to network engineers measuring everything in bits. Anyway, I forget which is b/B so you can get either 600/8 or 600*8 cd streams down cat5, both of which are contsiderably more than what you're likely to actually need, 1 -- Jim |

My favourite bit is when WhatHifi etc claim a CD transport to be "working very hard". Yeah, right, that's why a £15 pc cd rom drive can read with *ZERO* error at 30-50 times that speed! -- Jim H |
