Which is it - increased signal or reduced noise? They're rather different. If the signal level increased when you switched digital sources, something is wrong. If the noise changed, perhaps it's being transmitted by the cable. If so, switching to Toslink may help. A better digital transport could in principle improve the sound by reducing jitter, and therefore jitter induced distortion - if the DAC it's feeding isn't capable of proper jitter attenuation. That's about it. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82520 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
