Sorry guys for most likely stupid question, but that's a thing I couldn't find a definitive answer using all my experience in Googling :)
I've seen many claims that optical connection is inferior to coaxial because it somehow introduces jitter. There even were measurements of output jitter on coax and optical outs of the same device, and the latter was much worse (I don't remember where I originally read this, so no link). Some also say the LED on transmitter burns out rather quickly on consumer gear, so the transmission line becomes unreliable. What's going on in real? Is optical inferior for hi-end audio application indeed? Does jitter issue exist? -- 325xi simaudio nova cdp >> simaudio moon i-5 >> revel performa m20 via acoustic zen matrix reference ii and acoustic zen satori -planned additions:... >> deq2496 >> lavry da-10 >>...- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 325xi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5661 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33146 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
