Ok, so I have a question about interconnects that hopefully someone can answer for me:
-how come audio equipment does not use digital source to amp connections? why is it that analog equipment is used?
I know the difference, and I understand that its much easier to lose quality over an analog source (voltages drops over distance due to impurities in metal). All home theater equipment uses digital sources now, and due to interpretation of 1's and 0's it makes for "lossless" sound and picture. I get that analog equipment can color the sound produced (in a good way or a bad) and some people want that, but to me, to have lossless audio seems to be the best way to produce the music the way it was meant to be heard. Am I missing something here?
