Try it and decide for yourself. When I was using my Benchmark DAC-1 from my SqueezeBox, I did a fair amount of testing between the Toslink and coax cables, as the Benchmark had both and a nice switch to toggle. I heard no difference at all. For normal lengths, say a meter or so, I can't imagine any difference at all, even if you tried to use AES/EBU (altho I didn't try this). -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
