Could James or other members suggest a good cable to use between my cd1 and possible future bda1. Is jitter increase by this or it insignificant? Thanks for any ideas  .   By the way  excuse my lousy typing on previous post

The great thing about many forums, including this forum, is that you can edit previous posts for lousy typing or misspelling.

I use a AES-EBU Digital Cable and make sure it is 110 ohms digital XLR. Bryston sells one at a reasonable price but you can pay more. I use a AES/EBU Digital Cable, 110 ohms digital XLR between my Bryston BDA-1, and my BCD-1. I am looking at buying a BDP-1 so I will use that same cable between the BDA-! and the BDP-1 and use a BNC to BNC cable between the BDA-! and the BCD-1

Bugsy, the BCD-1 has no BNC out...therefore you cannot use a BNC to BNC Cable?!?!?       

BNC to RCA (Coax) would work...

al.

I always thought that 0's and 1's were just that, and that they would not really need some expensive high end cable to get from one place to another. I was proven quite wrong there...
I for one think you cannot go wrong with Nordost Cables. Not cheap, but in my opinion more than worth their money.

Which I think is weird. There is no standard in the connections Bryston puts on its equipment. The BDP has BNC and USB-A, the BDA has USB-B, the BCD has RCA...

1s and 0s are not what gets transported via a digital audio cable

[Bear Heath]

Phil,

is what is actually transported electrical impulses that represent the 1s and 0s? How does the cable influence or degrade the impulses?  Thank you.

This is a pretty good explanation here - http://www.audioholics.com/education/cables/toslink-interconnect-history-basics

You can actually get the same general type of problems on a digital coax as with analog cables.

It is quite standard to use USB Type A connectors on Hosts and USB Type B connectors on Peripherals.
 
 
James, you are once again posting the back panel photo of the BDP-1 with USB and Ethernet legends reversed.  Why not just delete that photo once and for all? !
