Digital cable question

[Poultrygeist]

I have several component video cables ( red, green, blue ) which I no longer use. I know they are fine for use as analog audio interconnects but can they be used as a digital coax audio cable?

Simply put, yes.

Simply put, yes.

How about technically

Component cable's green cable carry twice bandwith than either Red or blue color. So if cable is no name brand component cable, stick with green color code wire as manufacture might have cut corners with red or blue cable. Ofcourse that is hypothetically speaking

You really think they make the cable with the green connectors on the end differently than the other two cables? You really think others are stupid enough to buy your bull****?

Please prove to us beyond a shadow of doubt with scientific testing that green is the better of the cables. Ot's already been proven that digital is passed just fine by unbent coathangers.

As usual, you just talk to hear yourself talk.

Whomever proved it, don't know nothing about digital signal

Digital signal out of DVD/Bluray players are synchronize which mean the o'clock is embedded in the signal. So one really need high bandwidth coax cable as not to alter the precise time shifting of oclock signal.

Cheap coax cables that have low bandwidth tend to "bend" sharp signal corners. Which mean the precise timing where oclock changes polarity will be off slightly.

As I said, it is hypothetically speaking. So have to take it with grain of salt.

You're full of $hit. You swallow gobs of crap on the internet without understanding what you read and then regurgitate bits and pieces and try to convince others you have some idea what you're talking about.

That doesn't alays work on everyone.Sometimes you get called on it.

Again, prove to me, or anyone for that matter, you can hear the diference or keep your mental masturbations to yourself. That, and taking a $hit, are two things better done in private.

Bloviating a$$holes like you give this hobby a bad name. Here's a little something to read the next time you're taking a "smokey".

Stick to copy ann pasting pretty pictures and lifting reviews from other sources and leave the tecnical stuff to others

thanks guys

Video cables should work fine for coaxial digital audio because they use the same impedance as cables specifically labeled for coax audio. The sales guys talk about jitter control and other purported benefits with dedicated coax digital audio cables, but I'm very skeptical of those claims.

I've been using a composite video cable for the digital audio output with my DVD players for 10 years now, and it works fine. Since most DVD audio output consists of buffered packet streams, any supposed benefit to wire-enabled jitter control goes for naught anyway. I connect my CD/SACD player's digital output the same way using an old video cable, but I rarely use that since I primarily listen to that player using the multichannel analog outputs.

This argument is quite entertaining. I'm going to have to side with markw on this one. Smokey's argument seems like the typical stuff that you hear at BestBuy when they try to sell you Monster cables.

I am no cable expert, but I don't think the capacitance of the cable comes into play here. I work with cables where capacitance is an issue for data transmission, but these cables are tens of thousands of feet long . . . It seems like shielding would be a much larger problem due to noise.

My two cents.
