I get the lowest noisefloor out of bnc -> optical.

I get no noise when I cut my cable.....

The lowest noisefloor=, deathly quiet

nice bait..I will bite

Couple questions have been bugging me since I started thinking about digital cables.

On the most basic level, the signal inside the cable is modified by the reflection, and can be expressed as V1(z) = V0 (e^(-jbz) + Ghe* e^(jbz)); and the signal as it passed into the DAC can be expressed as V2=tau*V0*e^(-jbz), where tau = 1+ Ghe. Ghe = (Z2 (medium 2; digital interface) - Z1 (digital cable))/(Z2+Z1)

So if you have no reflection whatsoever going back into digital cable from the DAC, Ghe = 0, so V1 is the same as V2.

So if this is calculable, it must be measurable, the question is what does it sound like? If there is a difference which connector (BNC/XLR/RCA) can achieve the lowest Ghe value?

I would say the connection between a shovel and the back of your head.

[swt61]

That connection would need to be repeated many times to get a valid frame of reference.

But what's the formula for when the signal flows from ass to mouth?

dude, stop posting

I assume it would just be shit to signal ratio approaches infinity.

∑_(H=1)^t▒H(α) p^2 ε_ns

Looks better in equation editor

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeah, I have no idea what that urban-sidewalk-meets-brick-wall between "...^t..." and "...H(α)..." is meant to convey. Is that APL for "something mysterious happens here" or "fuzzy logic", perhaps?

[morphsci]

It is supposed to be Summation (Sigma) H=1 to t of H(α)p

[Dusty Chalk]

I liked my imagery better.

[Spiug31]

H(α)p
