Sorry "Rat", but you're wrong.
I agree that bits are bits. But coax and TosLink don't do error-correction since
the S/PDIF protocol doesn't do error-correction.
Maybe not, but it does do jitter correction. The S/PDIF lower level
protocol is what the computer

Ralphie explained jitter:
So lets play them back. But with some jitter introduced
of -0.1 +0.1 +0.1 -0.1.
Thus,
This is a useful exposition, but in practice, what you may get is:
1 @ -0.0001
-1 @ 1.0001
1 @ 2.1
-1 @ 2.9
the question is, does this make any

I know, and I apologise for misusing the term, because what is going on in
the receiver is not really error

One word ... BULLSHIT!
Yes, optical is less susceptible to interference compared to coax (since it
is light and not influenced by surrounding electrical noise, magnetic
fields, etc.). But the difference is so minuscule, honestly, it's not an
audible difference. Screw test gear and whatnot, it's

It is BS, and gives you an idea of what the people that write for the
magazine think of the intelligence of their readers. Sort of the
National Enquirer of magazines I guess.
