have no idea, probably should work, its just another way of outputing the audio (instead of buying the better cables with this output on it)

If either produce errors, the audio will cut out completely. It's a compressed stream, after all.
Don't listen to the fud.

aslar, hehe the knowledge of the errors makes people buy insanly expensive cables. The funniest one are power cables. You have a thousand miles of crappy cable all the way to your wall socket and the last bit of cable with low oxydation and gold and stuff makes a big difference? Nah
jm, that's not correct. AC3 atleast does not cut out on errors (didn't test DTS). Try inserting different bytes in a AC3 file. It will play fine and not mess up like for instance MP3 will. I tried this for fun once and was surprised to not be able to hear any of the many errors I created on purpose.

My fibre cable cost me $6AU... They had them at another shop for $180AU.
Both were 2m and both looked the same to me.
$6 cable sounds sweet..... DTS rip of T2 blew my mind!!!

digital is digital.
It works or it doesnt. COAX is no "better" than optical - if you have sound then it will make no difference.
Audio wont cut out and inserting odd bits of crap will make no difference due to error correction. Digial errors sound like parrots squaaking.
