I am in the camp of believers that connections make discernible differences, in varying degrees. And that there are limitations. Buying into voodoo witchcraft is something I will stay away from. At least until I have a golden goose and wont fall behind on mortgage payments.
But this isn't about live stock or metals, it's about glass. I'm not as certain when it comes to optics and audio systems. At least not yet. I can't make out an audible difference between a $5.99 6 ft. optical connection to one costing $9.99 to a three footer costing several hundred dollars. Tested at rates of 44.1 to 192. I have not tested higher. Maybe byond will draw other conclusions?

Digital audio interconnects (whether copper or fibre) generally either work or fail. If they fail you get no sound or very distorted sound. If they work you get sound as perfect as the DAC can deliver. Hence you should expect not to be able to hear the difference between two or more working interconnects.
