On this particular subject, am I right in thinking that this effect would be irrelevant with a toslink connector, there being no electrical connection? I seem to remember that the received wisdom is supposed to be that toslink connection are supposed to sound worse than coax. Can anyone remind me why? perhaps I had better start a separate thread on that
