This is highly dependent on the cable used and the edge-rates. The slow edge-rates typical of consumer gear makes the connectors a dont-care. However, it also aggravates jitter at the same time. Slow edge-rates are necessary for most manufacturers in order to pass FCC emissions testing. The theory says that S/PDIF will be superior to Toslink, but this assumes a good implementation. -- audioengr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ audioengr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8041 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34749 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
