I have a Pioneer DV-578A-S DVD player, a good Yamaha 5.1 receiver, and nice Boston Acoustics speakers.

This weekend I was playing an ordinary CD using the analog out from the player, then switched over to the digital out. I expected them to be relatively the same, but the digital was much different, having dramatically increased highs and lows.

I didn't spent a mint on my 3 ft. cables, but I bought them from a pro-audio (music industry) supplier, thinking they'd be fairly good.

I know no one is going ot have a difinitive answer -- I'm more fishing for theories. Is this more likely an issue of cable quality, or more likely an issue of digital-to-analog converter quality in the player as compared to the receiver?

Disregard this question.

After doing a little research, I think it's unlikely the cables.

One great link regarding audio equipment myths (including cable quality differences) is:
