RE: Cheap Canare cable?

Well if you want to experiment that's fine. No damage will result.

But as I am sure you have already been told, these attributes you noted such as "squashed treble" cannot be neither added or removed by virtue of a digital interconnect. Simply not possible.

I find many audiophiles do not understand how digital technology works. Just because analog interconnect cables can cause the effects like you mentioned, that does not translate to digital interconnects.

To make such subtle changes the bit pattern would have to be specifically altered in a highly predictable pattern. How is a passive cable going to accomplish that? To simply raise or lower treble for example requires a digital multiplier function followed by a rounding function. Excessive high frequency roll off in a digital cable from excessive capacitance does not lower treble like it does in an analog interconnect.

Poor digital cables cause data errors that result in dropouts, clicks, pops.
