However these current generation\ndigital technologies are only part of the story just as the challenge of\ndesigning manufacturing and choosing the best analog interconnects and speaker\ncables is as important as ever. S\/P-DIF is transmitted through Digital Coax\nand Toslink fiber optics (EIA-J) making them still some of the most important\ncables in electronic entertainment. While thanks to HDMI Toslink is not so\noften used to connect a DVD player to an A\/V receiver Toslink connectors are\ncommon on cable-boxes TV sets subwoofers all sorts of products. For these many\nreasons AudioQuest has refined and renewed our line of serious high\nperformance OptiLink cables. When the question is “how can a fiber-optic cable\nchange the sound?” … the answer is easier to explain than for almost any other\ntype of cable. If the light source were a coherent laser firing into a vacuum\nall the light would stay straight arriving at its destination at the same\ntime. Even if the LED light source in a Toslink system were coherent the light\nentering a fiber-optic cable is scattered and dispersed by imperfections and\nimpurities in the fiber. This can be measured as a loss of amplitude … but\namplitude is not the problem a 50% true loss would have no effect on sound\nquality. The problem is that the dispersed light does get through the cable\nbut only after it has taken a longer path like a pool ball bouncing off the\nside-rails causing it to arrive later. This delayed part of the signal\nprevents the computer charged with decoding this information from being able\nto decode properly or even at all. The inability to decode shows first at\nhigher frequencies (not audio frequencies this is a mono stream of digital\naudio information) so reduced bandwidth is a measurable signature of light\nbeing dispersed by a fiber.
