My point is that modern decent (not cheap plastic) fibre can easily provide the 11Mhz bandwidth needed for "uncorrected" in-home digital connection up to 5 metres @ 96KhHz/24 bit. The fibres used for Internet traffic etc have a lot more clear bandwidth than that over greater distances.
My underlying point was that if fibre technology was so fundamentally flawed that it required constant, intrusive error correction and/or retransmission it wouldn't be used at all for global networking - the fibre would be replaced by coax... regards, Phil -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31733 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
