In the context of the conversations I've had, "better" = "less jitter", so if you don't buy the idea that jitter has an impact on sonic performance, then there's nothing more I can say. But if that is true, then do you then believe that it shouldn't matter whether you use optical vs. coax? -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18772 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
