Audio Interconnect Tips
- When comparing optical to coaxial, keep in mind that both propagate audio signals digitally. It’s all ones and zeros, so a small amount of EMI noise will not interfere with the sound quality. The best advice is use what’s less expensive.
- An interconnect using S/PDIF is digital; therefore, do not connect it to a RCA analog interconnect.
- RCA interconnects can vary in size and shape. Double check to make sure you have the correct one.
- Coaxial cables are typically more durable than optical cables
- For optimal performance, use digital interconnects over analog.
- Some Home Theater Network gear do not output digital signals and analog signals at the same time.
- Try finding speakers with 5–way binding posts instead of spring clip terminals.
- You need Dolby or DTS licensed receivers in order to play Dolby or DTS media.
- DTS carries approximately 3 times more audio data than Dolby.
- See the cables section for more information on, you guessed it, cables.
