Suggestions for best S/PDIF/Coaxial cable

I know Digital is all relative and its clean on just about any coax/RCA cable, but i just wanna find out, what you guys are using to link 2 units digitally. Best cable money can buy so to speak!

Any decent cable that won't easily break will be fine; there is no audio difference among properly functioning digital cables no matter the price.

Just go to your local Video/Hifi Store and get the most rugged looking Composite video/spdiff cable they are the same spec, 75ohm coax
Gold connectors etc dont mean shit.
Anything the coasts more than £20/$40 is a rip off.

It's worth having a look on ebay. I bought my spdif cables on there for £1.99. That was 5 years ago and never had any problems.

What they said dude, it'll either work or it won't...no silver-coated directional snake oil here! Just get the cheapest 75 Ohm rca cable you can get, it'll work fine.

(usually labelled video cable or cable tv here at electronics stores...I would almost bet if it's labelled spdif it'll cost more!)

Being digital, audio quality wise, what you need to listen out for is pops/clicks/squelches lke you get from a dab radio or digital TV if its not got a very good signal, this means it doesnt have a good digital clock sync, if you dont hear anything like that (most ofen just the odd pop) then your cable is good enough.
Hell, several times ive even used one side of a normal analogue hifi stereo RCA cable when i couldnt be bothered to dig out an spdiff cable and its worked fine,

A cable is just a cable! Get something that works and wont break, other than that there is no difference!
