This has become a long topic and it seems it has gone a bit off topic too.
My two cents on the initial question External DAC on Transporter: best output option 1st AES/EBU because it's the professional standard and more important has balanced outputs. This minimizes loss on the connection. 2nd Digital S/PDIF. S/PDIF is almost identical to AES/EBU. 3rd Optical S/PDIF. Optical has a smaller bandwidth as digital. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vansloneker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64269 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106519 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
