Customer Review: I don't have this cable either
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally wrote this as a comment below, but you won't get to read it unless you go digging, so i am placing it here instead.
I'll shorten the read for you and conclude that digital transmission media can have different results depending on cable quality, and that it is very possible that you can notice a difference purchasing a monster cable over a cheap one.
The guy below, and the other guy whaling on about digital signals being digital signals only are so wrong its not funny. The guy that mentioned the analog waveforms is absolutely correct.
Digital transmissions through cables like this, or fibre optics or even digital tv through the air, use analog waveforms !
How can you say that this cable sends 1's and 0's and thats it ? How do you send a '1' through a cable ?
Pick one end up and shout "one !!!!!" down the cable ? Of course not ! You need to send it via an electrical signal, which means you need to send some voltage levels. How you do this can vary. Any electric signal, including square waves, the wave most commonly thought of "digital" is still an analog waveform ! A digital pulse is in fact made up of many many analog harmonics that add together to form a square pulse. If you look at the spectrum is covers quite a range of frequencies and the term frequency here is not referring to the same "frequency" of your ones and zeros.
The devices that use these digital cables, like many other digital transmissions, encode the digital sequence onto some sort of other signal. One thing of paticular interest is the fact that the timing signal is also encoded in the signal.
The fact that the timing signal is there as well, is where half the problems come from ! In digital Audio in particular, there is an effect called digital jitter. This is where the timing signal travelling through your cable does not reach the other end perfectly, and hence the timing of the processor at the other end, which relies on the timing signal being sent through the medium, can easliy be wrong. This can happen because of hi and low pass filtering effects through your cable, which makes the point where your digital " 1's and 0's" change, harder to distinguish and be less precise.
HDMI and DVI and all thouse digital video sources have a timing signal in there as well.
What about impedence matching in cables, which causes reflections which can make jitter worse ?
What about digital television, do you really think "1'a and 0's" are just flying through the air randomly ? How does your set top box distinguish between different channels ? Why does it find these digital channels at certain "frequencies" on the same frequency as your normal television ? Because your digital tv is encoded onto an analogue waveform and taken back out at the recievers end !
If you don't believe me, do some reading. Look up things like quadrature phase modulation or digital jitter and you'll find that digital systems are in no way as simple as you claim them to be !
If you want to declare that digital signals "are 1's and 0's only - nothing more to discuss" then your statement serves no more then to point out that you have absolutely no idea what your talking about.
Monster cables are built to lessen the problems that digital systems can suffer from. You may or may not notice not, but from what i have experienced with people listeing to the difference between cheap digital cables and monster ones, is that 3 out 4 people claim to hear a difference.
By all means, I think monster cables are a little overpriced, but without a shadow of a doubt - cables are not cables - digital or not.
In the words of the head of engineering, where i did my first degree in electronics "digital is ultimately analog
