Digital Cable Music Choice

Hello all, I listen to Music Choice from my digital cable box as backround music when I am not playing Cds .
I now use a digital interconnects to watch DD TV but use the analog outputs from the cablebox to listen to music. I was thinking of upgrading the analog interconnects from the cablebox to something like a audioquest Jaguar with DBS , Would this upgrade improve sound or is it a waste of $$ since the signal out of the cable box is limited ?
Thanks~

AvG,

I didn't say it was a waste of time, just a waste of money for a big dollar digital cable. I have my cable converter/DVR connected to the DAC in my Resolution Audio Opus 21. It sounds much better than using the analog outputs from the cable box. However, I didn't notice any difference between a bargain basement digital cable and my Stereovox.

It is certainly worth the effort to connect the cable box into your system using a quality DAC. I just don't think you will get much additional value from a big-bucks digital cable.

Enjoy,
