[QUOTE="pwatts, post: 1054872, member: 146"] S/PDIF will work over a coathanger. It sometimes will lock even without the ground return connected. It's not a binary situation about having a valid/locked signal or not though; mismatches because of waveform distortion will lead to jitter in the clock recovery circuit which effectively is what causes better cables to sound better. IMO more gains are to be had from improving improper or textbook line drivers and receivers in the electronics used than the cables itself (see my thread on the Gustard U12 mods for reference, and that is by no means the worst I've seen across several price brackets), but of course hacking away at electronics is not everyone's cup of tea. Of all the implementations I've seen so far, Aurender intrigues me the most - sadly I can't do a full reverse engineer but from high-res images they seem to take extraordinary care with it. [/QUOTE]
