Rather than surmising and pooh-poohing something why not try a few
different interconnects (blind) and see if you can hear a difference?
Better
still invite a few friends round - if you use a HiFi shop rather than
buying
everything from the lowest priced web retailer they should be able to lend
you
a few at different price points to try. Get someone to change the
interconnects without telling you which he is using and do a blind test. I
suggest you listen to each one a few times (you might do it without telling
your mates that they are listening to each more than once), and with
different
source material - but make sure you play the same stuff each
time.
The
trouble with cables of all types, analogue and digital, that unless you
audition them blind there can be a case of "emporers new clothes". I always
audition cables blind.

Exactly my thoughts.
The reason I asked the question was after
reading a review in a hifi mag in the dentist surgery, all sorts of claims
were made for different digital interconnects both coax and optical, it all
seamed a load of cobblers so why do the reviewers go along with
it?.
I also run a Sony multi changer but into an
Arcam Alpha 10 Dave, the difference between the digital connection using
the
Arcam DAC and the audio output from the Sony is dramatic even with good
interconnects on the line output.
