if you want to get into ‘reality tunnels’, then expectation bias should be right up your street.

fair enough, it just seems to me that worrying about vibration on a digital interconnect should be very low on the list of possible improvements and I’m quite confident that hardly any audiophiles have effective acoustic treatment that would actually make an easily demonstrated difference.

If you want to be pedantic, all cables make a difference, take them away and there’s no sound at all…

Can anyone of you who hear a difference due to vibration in a digital cable give me an explanation of how the low frequency air bourne / foot fall vibrations in the digital cable alone manifest themselves on the converted analogue signal?
dB levels would be nice to know.
