Cool - A good while ago I read quite a bit about Optical vs Coax, and coax seemed to come out on top, hence I went down the route of audio testing various coax cables at home - But I have since forgoten what on earth I had read many moons ago.
- Is "light" bothered if it travels down a cheap cable or expensive one ? (I will see if I can borrow one if they are going to be expensive just for testing) Sorry Pat, is A/B short for blind testing? In case it is ... No, I did not do a blind test I just used my usual playlist for sound testing, sat back shut eyes concentrated on each track with each different set of cables. But, I do feel it is a bit unfair comparing a £180 digital cable to a couple of £30 interconnects. It is in the plan to get a decent interconnect which should make the tests fairer. Good Point - This conversion thing at the Slimserver end which may be kicking out the MP3 blurb - is this in the Server Settings File Types Section? I have looked here before and forgive me but I have not understood it yet. There are alot of ticked items down the left hand side including : Flac Flac (Built in) Flac Wav Flac and MP3 MP3 (Built in) I guessed that as my input file is flac, Slimserver would use one if the ticked Flac options.... In the mean time I will see if I can sort a long optical cable of some discription. -- Deaf Cat _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
