I used to use Toslink before, but then, after turning off analog output, I decided that coax sounded better. I'll give Toslink another try, although I currently don't have any decent toslink cable at all. (I'll start looking for a reasonably priced glass one.) I'll try to find the relevant discussion on Audio Circle and post a link to see what their take on this might be. BTW, I replaced the switch mode power supply with a linear one. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28307 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
