I'm a little late to the party on this discussion, and in my present set up have no need to let my cold, naked bits stray outside of my Transporter. With that said, I HAVE in the past used both Optical & AES/EBU connections between the transporter and a DEQ 2496.
* Amazon Basic Toslink. About $8.00/pr * Canare 110ohm AES/EBU cable. About $50.00 For the life of me, I could not RELIABLY detect a difference between the different connections. In some instances, if there was to be any preference...it came down in favor of the TOSlink. A very NON-Audiophile observation in light of the exceedingly low price of the Amazon product.... On the length issue....I've always been of the mind that "longer is better", but the discussion would quickly stray from Audio cables. :):):) IMO...Use what you like. -- Curt962 Transporter...Touch....Boom...Audiolense XO ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Curt962's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31949 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90211 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
