But it's NOT there when I reply via "Quote."
It only includes what you say outside of the quote tags and strips out everything that you included in the quote tags.

No, they don't have to re-sample, but they could. They're simply saying that they don't.

| The music starts as a digital signal, so it already has been "digitized". It's really a false claim. |
No, it's not a false claim as a digital signal may be re-sampled.
Quote:
| How does the DAC read a signal that has been turned into analog already? |
Who says the signal's been converted into analogue?
Quote:
| You cannot have it both ways: it's not digital but it is still able to be decoded by a DAC. |
You're conflating the signal with the cable.
Quote:
| How is the DAC able to read the output of the cable if there is no analog-to-digital conversion then? It starts out digital on the source, it gets turned into "laser analog", and then what? |
It doesn't "get turned into 'laser analog.'" Again, you're conflating the signal with the cable. The signal may be digital or analogue, but in either case, the cable is analogue.
Quote:
| That's just being pedantic. Of course it is "transmitted" one way, how else would it work? This is needless information, because it is obvious, and to put right after that bullet there are reflections going back, it can be taken as being contradictory. |
Since I don't consider reflections to be "transmission," I don't consider it contradictory.
Quote:
Well, when they claim this,
"With the signal path being unidirectional, the signal ground loop is completely isolated, creating a much darker background"
I am inclined to call BS on all of that claim. |
And I'll agree with you on the BS call. The unidirectionality has nothing to do with ground isolation. Ground isolation is due to it being an optical medium.
Quote:
| Sorry, to claim that they are using "true" 75Ohm RCA connectors is just flat lying. There is no other way around that. |
They don't claim to be using "true" 75 ohm RCA's. They're simply saying that the load inside the cable is 75 ohms and 110 ohms depending on whether it's S/PDIF or AES/EBU. Neither the RCA nor the XLR are the load.

| Well, if you are going to refute me, you will have to refute my point. I brought up the digital cable and only the digital cable. You thought I was talking about the analog cable (same thing really). Please read post #225 more carefully. |
Fair 'nuff.

Now I can finally use O2 as a search term
