Double WOW - you are making way too much sense and common sense and science are most definitely NOT welcome in any modern audio forum. Plus my post should be number 8 and so far no one has told the OP that the USB modification is the ONLY way to go, after all with this mod one can stream 24bit/192kHz and there are just so many reasonably priced (as in less than the price of a new car) 24bit/192kHz recordings available that going with coax or toslink makes absolutely no sense at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95872 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
