I was an electrical engineer in college (you can't spell "geek" without EE!), and I don't know any basis for thinking that optical coupling is necessarily more "complex" than electrical. With electrical, you have to worry about factors like impedance, etc. And ground loops, as someone else said. I'm no expert in optical emitting technology in terms of pulse edge timing, etc., but I would think it could be done in a high-precision fashion for a digital signal if care is taken. -- LavaJoe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LavaJoe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2331 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18772 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
