If you have an optical cable, as well as a coax, hook it up with both at the same time. Switch between them. If you can't hear any difference, unhook the coax and listen to the optical. Can you now hear any difference compared to before? If yes, go with the optical! If no, go with the optical anyway! If, on the other hand, you could actually hear a difference when both coax and optical were connected at the same time, then you have to choose based on comparing optical (with disconnected coax!), to coax. Why all this strange reasoning? Well, I've come to the conclusion that at least in my system the act of connecting the SB to the DAC galvanically (electrically) makes a bigger difference to the sound than the actual path the digital information takes! So the coax is a bad influence even if I'm actually listening to the optical. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21775 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
