Thanks for that quick response. So USB can be implemented so as not to be problematic, which is good but again I ask how does this compare to Coaxial S/PDIF & toslink? Do these connections require similar design features to overcome inherent flaws or do they work "straight out of the box"? -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90360 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
