Ordinary Cables' do not have any specific 'impedance'
Digital audio sending & receiving ports, as well as cables, have a 75 Ohms impendance.
One way to understand the relevance of this impedance is that the Voltage in these sections ( In Volts ) is 75 times the current ( in Amperes ).
Hence a 1 Volt signal put out by the digital sending port will also push out 1/75 amperes ( 13.33 milli Amps ) of current.
The 75 Ohm cable now has to carry this Exactly same ratio of voltage & current to the Digital receiving port, which in turn will demand the same Voltage to current ratio of 75.
Any excess Voltage or current will be 'bounced' back to the input, creating an echo or a 'standing wave.'
Ideally there should be no 'echo' so that 100% signal transfer takes place. This is possible only if the proper impedance (75 ohms ) cable is used.
The Cable impedance of 75 ohms is created by the dimensions of the centre conductor, the diameter of the braid, and the dielectric material used in the coaxial cable.
The difference people hear between two seemingly identical digital cables is what the industry refers to as jitter. Simply put, jitter is what engineers call the timing difference between digital signals as a result of physical and environmental factors. For optical cables, this is realized when the light pulse bouncing through the optical strands does not reach the receiving end at the expected interval of time. For coaxial cables, this effect can happen through the influence of external electromagnetic forces, but more likely through subtle chemical impurities in the cable strands or connector assembly causing timing irregularities. Jitter manifests itself audibly because the digital signal reaches the DAC at unexpected intervals, producing an analog signal that differs from the source material because the DAC now has a different digital input because of the jitter. Even if the same zeros and ones pass by, if they "arrive" at different clock cycles at the DAC, the resultant analog signal is going to differ, if only by a very subtle margin. That's the difference that you can notice.
