Digital vs Interconnect Cables - Difference?


Can someone explain the difference between digital and interconnect cables? Are they inter-changable? Is digital for connecting CD/SACD transport and DAC?

How about the cables between CD player and pre-amp - Interconnect or digital cables? And between pre-amp and power-amp? Are the same type of interconnect cables?

Also, how many types of interconnect cables are availabe in the market? Digitals - with various connection options?

Thanks.

Digital cables come in 2 varieties... 75 ohm rca connectors and 110 ohm xlr connectors.

They are used for connecting 2 digital components, mainly to a dac, from a cd or dvd transport.

Any connections between sources and preamps or preamps and amps would be via analogue interconnects
