to be clear...i would guess that the same cable design in spdif will not sound significantly better. there have been several issues discussed here so i think it has gotten confusing! aes sounds better on my dac, this is not a massive better rather just better. it was also recommended by the designer to use aes. i invested in a rather expensive cable that does in fact make a significant difference over other cables, i am sure it would as spdif as well but do not want to get another to test it...that is i think how this whole discussion started. nothing is wrong with my system!! it's fine. some just believe i am imagining the impact of the cable and i would be better served getting an inexpensive bnc cable or that if the cable is making that big of an impact, the design of the dac i flawed.....i think! -- richardw ------------------------------------------------------------------------ richardw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32135 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76895 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
