The implications of what these guys are saying on their web site is that the DAC1 "should" prefer TOSLINK because of the galvanic isolation. I'm suprised that no-one here has consistently stated that Toslink is better than coax for the Benchmark... Of course, as we know it isn't as simple as that. Also I can't see the point of converting coax to AES unless you only have an AES input (pretty rare situation IMHO). The benefit of AES/EBU is only obtained if source+cable+dac are all running it...bit like running an unbalanced source into a balanced input (or the other way round). -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38188 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
