Hi Gary, Yes, Coax and optical outputs are active at the same time and you can compare them. It requires a reboot to swap between SPDIF/COAX out and USB out. I must admit I've never looked at the protocols involved in conducting such a test. I assume that the test subject must not know which is which, and I guess a single test subject (me) isn't going to be proving much anyway. To be honest, I'm not sure I would go to the trouble of doing a Double blind ABX test as I am already clear about what I prefer and am not out to prove there is a statistically valid subjective difference. More relevant to this thread is doing some comparative measurement to see if there is anything that is measurable using something very similar to Archimango's test rig. Anyway, I'll have a look at how one might do an ABX out of curiosity - any good links relevant to my sort of config?.
