This morning, I just happened to be clearing out my loft and discovered some ancient BNC network cable that I don't need. I therefore threw it all in the bin. This afternoon, I started to think about buying a cable to let me plug my CD player's digital output into the transporter. I then suddenly realised what I'd thrown away this morning, so went and raided my bin to get the BNC network cable back! Boy would I have kicked myself if the bins had been collected! ;-) I now have the CD player connected into the transporter with the BNC network cable and can now use the transporter as an external DAC by selecting BNC Coax S/PDIF from the Digital Inputs menu. It sounds fantastic - a huge improvement on the cd player's DAC!
So, the inevitable question - should I be using an old (2-3m!) BNC network cable in this situation? It clearly works and sounds better, but would I get better results with different cable? I'm only really asking out of curiosity as I hardly ever use my cd player these days, so probably wouldn't be that interested in spending money anyway, unless it was only a tenner or something!

At the soonest possible convenience to the hard-working yet undervalued Slim Developers. ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ max.spicer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28701 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
