Just about any cable ever made would carry digits over that distance.

You've found this too, then?

Especially in the not so demanding world of digital HiFi. I mean, what is
cd, 150k/s? A £1 length of cat5 is good for at least 100M/s, enough for
more than 600 cd streams.

Right idea, but you're mixing bits and bytes.

Oops. Never can get used to network engineers measuring everything in bits.
Anyway, I forget which is b/B so you can get either 600/8 or 600*8 cd
streams down cat5, both of which are contsiderably more than what you're
likely to actually need, 1

Yup. But you've got to understand the thinking. It's conceivable that
really poor (high capacitance) or extra long interconnects can make a
difference to an analogue signal - especially if high impedance valve
equipment is used.

So for those who don't *want* to understand any theory, *all*
interconnects can make a difference. That the signal is digital makes no
difference to this thinking at all.

My favourite bit is when WhatHifi etc claim a CD transport to be "working
very hard". Yeah, right, that's why a £15 pc cd rom drive can read with
*ZERO* error at 30-50 times that speed!

Y'all got that right. This is snake-oil at it's finest.

This is a problem for people who don't have much experience of hifi;
distilling the truth from the sea of snake-oil it swims in... I mean,
of course if you use badly shielded cable I guess it'll pick up some
mains hum/RF interference: but working out what expensive
interconnects, or speaker stands, are meant to do is distinctly
non-trivial :/

You don't have to work out what they're meant to do, just listen to them
in a double-blind test. If you can't tell the difference blindfold,
there's little point in shelling out huge dough. The emperor really has
no clothes.
