Once again we locked ourselves in the lab. This time we got to work with coaxial cables. This is a bit of an explanation of an earlier article we wrote on this topic. That article can be found here
In this video, we show you how we quickly measure through a coaxial cable. We also show the influence of shielding and geometry. After all: we call it a coaxial cable, but are all ‘digital interlinks’ coaxial? And if not: what happens to such a cable during the measurements?
We show it all in the video below. Note: we are only measuring the output here. There are more factors involved in cabling.
So, it is not safer to use optical TOSLINK?
Toslink introduces different problems. If you compare coaxial with toslink connections on the same machine, like a CD transport, you will often hear that coaxial sounds better.
No. Not really. Toslink had other issues. But use a decent coaxial cable… 🙂
