Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: digital or analog

The relevant factor is the length of the cable vs. the wavelength of the signal. At audio frequencies the wavelength is long, e.g. ten's of kilometers. No problem for audio interconnects, but of interest to telephone companies. As Roseval pointed out, SPDIF operates at RF frequencies and cable lengths need to be extremely short before impedance doesn't matter.
