Tips for Using Digital Cables

To choose the best digital audio cable , it is worth taking into account a series of tips that can facilitate our choice and solve the typical problems of analog connections, which, although still present and used in multiple devices, are being increasingly relegated.

Thus, aspects such as materials, compatibility with components, the type of connector and, of course, the length of the cable, are some of the points to take into account.

Before choosing the cable in question, we must carefully observe the assortment of connections of our device and assess which one or which will be the most suitable for our purpose. For example, if we want to connect some speakers to our TV , the most common is to use the optical output, unless we have HDMI eARC, although currently, there are very few active speakers that have this output.

On the other hand, it is interesting to opt for cables made of tangle-resistant, robust and well-coated materials, since, in addition to preserving their durability , we will avoid unwanted interference and noise that can dirty the listening experience.

Regarding the length, we have to choose the size that best suits our needs, and generally, in the market we have cables that go from 0.5m to 30 or 40 meters. The length of the cables will be determined by the size of the room and the distance between the interconnected devices, so it is important to be clear about the place of installation of our equipment and the actual dimensions that we have.
