I mean, we ARE talking about the same guy who claimed that DSC is visually lossy while also, in the same post, providing (as evidence, question mark?) an article explicitly stating that DSC is visually lossless, was created with this specific goal and, for all intents and purposes, succeeded in it.
So, uh…yeah, I think the topic is kinda open and shut. Have problems? Acquire a fully certified to spec cable from a reputable brand, they aren’t exorbitantly expensive. No problems? Don’t bother, everything works.
