"Note about SPDIF cables, these cables are not the same type of cabling used
for analog audio, the internal resistance of the cable is different than for
analog audio. Although analog RCA may appear to work, it is not reliable.
Examples of SPDIF cables can be found at www.hosatech.com"
I just bought a cable for experimenting a bit with spdif. But apparently I
didn't bought the right one, but a 'normal' audio cable...
Yep, you need the kind of cable labeled "digital coax", like the ones
used for connecting a DVD player's digital output to a surround sound
receiver's digital input. They have RCA connectors but don't work well
as analog audio cables, and vice versa -- analog audio cables don't
work well as digital audio cables.
