People often confuse balanced connection with differential connection. Many, but not all balanced connections in audio are also differential.
Chalk that up to another failure by Dr. Quack. I don't see any recognition of or test of the balanced or differential nature of the connection .... well he really didn't test any of the electronics end to end, so not surprising.
Do not expect science from the AES. It is an industry interest group that serves mainly to provide a veneer of seemingly scientific legitimacy to their marketing claims. Maybe it wasn't always like that, but it's what it has become.

There just isn't that much stuff that needs to be published, so they allow a lot of leeway so "academics" can meet their publishing requirements to maintain tenure and their jobs.

I'd rather not give that video a click, much less a watch through. Care to summarize?
I mean, obviously there are often aspects to "HiFi" cables that could be measurably different from cheap cables. The question is, do those differences correlate to anything that is actually audible?

The summary is the scientist found differences in time delays between the single-ended cables. Jay pivots around but from what I see from the YouTube comments and scientist Milind N. Kunchur's study:
Paper only shows time delay differences at 1Mhz+, also reflections and noise at 1MHz+ If there is time delay at 200kHz it will show up as phase and gain deviation. There isn't any time delay or phase diffrence at 20-20kHz.

Kunchur. About all I need to know. So far he has published papers about timing and gets lots of fundamentals wrong. Plus the video has all the usual wrong ideas. People who measure care only about measurements, people who think they hear cables are called crazy, and science just isn't measuring the right thing.

I am pretty durn sure that with a good high-resolution DMM using Kelvin (4-point) probes and a decent low-frequency VNA I can find measurable differences among cables. Audible differences, not so much.

Listen to the inner voice Don, its calling you , the cold escape , the chilled relief, the liquid peacemaker ..
Ah , its Thursday, 60 hours into the working week , definitely beer .. possibly a kebab and some serious me time before the inevitable comprises the weekend brings ..
