Can it not be dependent on the gear you are using some tos transmitter and recievers are not fantastic "they" say ?
making the the optical interface having less bandwidth than the electrical interface that's a pity it has potential to be significantly faster. But this "info" was absorbed trough hifi press :-/ I may be wrong or this info was correct in the early digital age but things have moved on and got better. I often used tos to the cabel-tv box an elegant way to not need antenna isolators for the hum loop. It is probably wrong to dismiss it directly try what works best for you. OT is hdmi current loops and galvanically isolated ? -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE rear ch.
