I did exactly this when I noted the exact same symptoms when playing through coax to my MSB Link DAC. Compared to my Pioneer DV525 player (at least a 5-year old unit), the SB2 sounded congested and full of "digititis". Using toslink (again, thinking that in most audiophile circles this would be a step backward) opened up the soundstage, removed a layer of hash, and basically turned a situation where the SB2 was worse than the Pioneer as a transport to one where it is slightly better. Try it. -- mbonsack _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
