I personally think that is correct, especially regarding the galvanic isolation. For instance, different sound cards may seem quite audibly distinguishable in their digital outputs, due to one card having pulse-transformer isolation but not so with the other card. Although some frown upon using glass optical connections for digital, I consistently find it to be preferable for digital audio transmission - I suspect it must be due to the genuinely perfect galvanic isolation this method provides. Best of all in my view, the SlimDevice approach - send the digital data via (galvanically isolated) ethernet protocol - which eliminates recovered clock issues - and interface everything using a remote-controlled server transport. I tried putting a Jensen line input transformer between this analog out and the amp, with excellent results as well. -- NewBuyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NewBuyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7862 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65422 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
