One of the worst sounding, actually two of the worst sounding digital cables that are supposedly "no-nonsense" pro audio cables I've ever experienced are the Canare DA202 and DA206 AES/EBU digital cables terminated with either gold or silver Neutrik pro audio XLR connectors. While it's safe to assume that the cables measured within spec as determined by pro audio standards, it's obvious that there are unmeasurable issues involved in how a cable actually sounds when placed within an audiophile system, and how it performs on paper and perhaps perceived as placed in a typical pro audio system.
This is not to claim that all pro audio cables are poor performers when placed within a typical audiophile system, since I'm currently working with two other very good sounding pro audio cables and pro audio XLR connectors that sound notably superior to the Canare/Neutrik builds for an audiophile application. That said, if cables don't make a difference, and pro audio cables of any make/model and type are more than sufficient, then it's curious as to why are there such divergent sonic signatures and performance levels involved in what is considered objective standards, which are said be unquestionable as to the veracity of pro audio cables being as good as it gets.
