[QUOTE="Vaughan, post: 2545"] DACman1, the difference between perfect rendering of a digital signal and total loss of signal can be surprisingly small; one can reach a threshold where the digital signal begins to fall apart, and not long after that threshold, find that there is no signal at all. The signal which gets through flawlessly over several hundred feet may be unable to get through at all, even in a damaged condition, when the cable run is lengthened by another fifty feet. No matter how much jitter, how much rounding of the shoulders of the square wave, or how much noise, if the bitstream is accurately reconstituted at the [i]receiving end[/i], the result is as though there'd been no degradation of signal at all. Cheers. --Sincerely, [/QUOTE]
