This was the same opinion I had. Compared to Zu Ash, Acoustic Zen Silver Photon, generic 1.5m digital coax, the Sound Professionals glass toslink was consistently better. But after the Bolder digital mods, I prefer the Zu Ash by a small margin. I guess the glass toslink seems like a sane choice with stock SB3s. -- SoftwireEngineer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SoftwireEngineer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7000 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38188 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
