No, but pyschoacoustics is where you need to look. Engineering will

might be at, but

I used to own a Bryston BP25 DA (preamp with built-in DAC). The DAC
section had a phase reversal switch. Any audible differences from
changing phase were so subtle as to be irrelevant, and there's no way in

You will get less signal loss over glass but at less than 30m it won't
make much of a difference.

Funny, I was just reading their website and realizing that [like
everything else] each manufacturer claims their way is best.

You couldn't just say I like [insert the cable you prefer here].
Instead you had to go thru all of that and top it off by calling my
question stupid and replies being a waste? Do me a favor then and
stop wasting time
In attempt to bring the topic back around to relevant information, let's
revisit the OP and the query I had:
In your own opinion, if you had to use a optical TOSLINK, which cable

I have had bad luck with a spring loaded, round connector (ie not form
fitting), glass toslink cable made by Dayton. The fit is sloppy, and
won't support the cable's own weight, resulting in intermittent signal
loss
When it does work, I haven't been able to hear any difference between
