A digital audio cable (Optical, HDMI, USB, Cat/Ethernet, Coax, etc. ) is one of the most important audio cable in your system. All channels (2, 5.1, 7.2, etc.) depend on the one cable to deliver undistorted sound.

Corruption of timing information, known as “jitter”, is the primary distortion in digital audio. Imperfections in an optical fiber scatter the light information. The light then takes many different paths within the fiber, each path having a slightly different length. This smearing of time information leads to misinterpretation of the digital data, eventually giving you sound with less clarity and more irritation.
