SPDIF cable - does it need to be anything special?

Yes and I'm sure the difference between their L & R ears might also shock some people
(for listening to their speakers with drive units pair-matched to within 1dB).

That’s absolutely true. I have slight tinnitus in my left ear and that (plus my room response) means I always have to increase the channel balance to the left to get a central stereo image.

You're not alone. Tinnitus has gone from something that I'd heard about, to something that I actually hear
One theory is that it's the brain filling in for frequencies that the ear(s) no longer hear.
Whatever it is, we could do without it.

Absolutely. Mine came on 5 years ago after a bad cold and cough which lasted 6 weeks!
After researching, its amazing how many people suffer from it….Bill Clinton, William Shatner, Chris Martin (Coldplay) even HG Wells I believe.
Apperently 6 million brits suffer from it….you’d think science had an answer by now….🤞
Luckily it doesn’t hamper my enjoyment of music!
