I'll disagree with you and move on. Plenty of testing to show there is a difference. Big difference between a consumer toslink cable and a fibre cable. Don't forget these cables are fragile. Bad cables and even high quality glass cables can be damaged and still technically work, but not work well. -- pounce ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pounce's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77649 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
