This thread had me experimenting again.
It still baffles me that the audible differences between digital cables
can be so large; between my Touch and Rega DAC I used to use an Oyaide
510. Beautiful well made cable, pure silver, multiple shields, and it
sounded great with former dacs. However,
Toslink's presentation is just very (for lack of a better word) -clean-.
IMO it's the lack of an electronic connection, that makes for the
blacker background, smoother treble, more solidified bass.

I have been following this thread since the beginning but have never
been able to try any of the mods as the screen on my Bolder modded
Touch was disabled (permanently!) when I snapped the flat cable

updated p83 post 827 mods as irq42 set to 41 was taking some of the top

It sounds very nice, but perhaps a little too full and forward, and
