Have you SEEN the stuff they sell to audiophiles?

It's a digital signal.

It's either there, or it isn't.

If the cable is broken, you'll get dropouts, you cannot

- with the same source and display device

- get better

"colour",

"texture" or any other number of analogue things by using a different wire.

A computer in the playback device calculates which numbers to send up the cable, and if those numbers don't all make it, then the sums aren't completed by the computer at the other end

- and there are checks to ensure data integrity remains.

I would suggest that LONG

- and I mean really long

- cables might be improved by being better quality just to ensure the signals reach where they're going at the same time, but then that's going to be a case of

"this cable doesn't work, this one does".

Not the BS that reviewers of high-end cables spout.
