Me too, but please read my answer to ezkcdude above. Tests have shown the difference is audible, the majority of people agree on what's better (I'm just being cautious - in reality I have yet to meet anyone who prefers Toslink to coax in S/PDIF or S/PDIF to AES/EBU *all else being equal* - in other words, if there's some weird ground loop, statics, incorrect impedance finalization, plugs and/or cabling etc., A/B comparison becomes redundant, and it's true, I have been told by engineers that AES/EBU impedance finalization in consumer electronics is sometimes so badly executed that it is no more than a gimmick implemented to promote a product's sales).
