Hi Chinanico, Yes that is exactly right, the coax was completely unplugged (both ends) when the Toslink was in place. gdg;225679 Wrote: > ...I'm of the opinion that any electrical noise (notorious in digital > equipment)can potentially be transmitted through the coax cable.

Hi gdg, In addition, I am not sure that a ground loop through an unbalanced *digital* coax connection would necessarily produce an analog 60Hz hum effect, as it can of course do through an unbalanced analog cable... but I could be mistaken. -- NewBuyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NewBuyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7862 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
