^ I thought it *was* galvanically isolated. Maybe not though, just the usual transformers. I do not have any quality glass Toslink cables anymore, so can't really test that option fairly (it sounds "dead" with the "best" Toslink I still do have).
However, we are only comparing different versions of EDO, presumably everything else remains the same in our comparison systems. And in my case comparing 3 versions that are not *that* different code-wise for how I'm using them (S/PDIF). The diffs I'm hearing don't seem noise-related to me. I run the Touch linear PS and BDA-1 and BP26 off balanced power too, but that's for different noise. It's a mystery to me, just like how some seemingly minor changes of "less-critical" parameters with TT3.0 had large effects. It got to the point (fooling around) that I had to wonder if file size and how the Touch handles files was making some diff. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cfraser's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48869 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94855 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
