Good to know that about the SB. Is this true for the SB2 as well as the SB3? > and furthermore, in a properly controlled system there should be no > reflections regardless of cable length. This is also true, but the main cause of reflections in an SPDIF set-up is an inconsistency of impedences all along the SPDIF chain (digital out, cable, digital in), so without knowing if a particular DAC has a true 75ohm input, it's safer to stick with the 1.5m cable. And in any case, RCA connectors aren't 75ohms, so its hard to minimize the inconsistency unless you use a BNC connector into the DAC... -- 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=26332 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
