Digital Interconnect Questions


I've always used inexpensive consumer grade digital cables of the $25 - $40 variety from Circus City, GoofGuys, etc. I'm talking about the 75ohm coaxial cable for attaching CD transport to DAC. Is there a significant difference in sound quality with higher-end digital interconnects? I've always been skeptical of over priced cables, especially the digital interconnect. I'm not seeking a debate but would like to know if anyone can actually hear a SIGNIFICANT difference. Thanks.

What kind of brands of digital cable sold in Circus City?
Is there any difference between Circus City and Circuit City?
If you've already spent about $10k on your digital end than the digital interconnect cable will make a difference but not as big as analogue interconnects. Otherwise it's OK to stay in $50 range for the digital interconnect. I use ultralink $25 digital interconnect with EAD DSP7000 MK2 and Monarchy Audio DT40b CD/LD transport. I've compared it with Illumitation D60 and heard very little difference in upper mids resolution. I desided not to go for 9x price from what I use right now.
