See this thread for more comments on coax/toslink and optical/electrical conversions: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18772 Personally, I do not see the reason you state as a true reason. There'd have to be more specifics on *why* converting is necessarily "bad." Remember that coaxial cables have all sorts of "issues" to get right when passing high frequencies, like impedance matching, bandwidth limits, etc. -- LavaJoe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LavaJoe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2331 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19240 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
