Thank you very much Nick for your reply and information. So is it correct then to conclude, that when connecting an SB3 to a modern jitter-controlled D/A unit like the Benchmark DAC1 PRE: A well-made toslink interconnect should always be *at least as good* as coax? -- NewBuyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NewBuyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7862 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52817 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
