SPDIF Cable Quality

abt · October 30, 2012 at 11:56 AM

Greetings.
Does anyone have an opinion on SPDIF cable length and quality? I know in theory these shouldn't have any impact but I owned an SPDIF device before and it had problems with long SPDIF cables and cheap SPDIF cables.

Basically I'm looking at these http://www.thomann.de/intl/apogee_wyde_eye_werr20_spdif.htm

but would rather buy these if there's not going to be any benefit http://www.thomann.de/intl/cordial_cpds2_cc.htm

Is the SPDIF output on the kemper the same as analog main output
but with the difference that it is digital?

I have never used SPDIF in any situation, do i need just one cable from the output on my
kemper and to the SPDIF input on my presonus firepod/FP10, or do i need 2, one for the output and one for the input?
Thanks in advance

Speaking of cables, what´s the network out on the kemper?
Is that for some future application, which we don´t know anything of as today?

2 cables, but watch out how you route the signal in your DAW, otherwise you're going to experience the mother of all loop feedbacks!
