Archimago, I believe I can hear the difference between different cables (not just damaged toslink). I haven't blown kilobucks on cables, but I have quite a few expensive cables in my system, if that is what you are asking. I had a lot of sceptics in my house that change their view on cable subject, but I am not trying to convince anyone in one way or the other. The only reason I posted on this forum is to admit you have done a nice job measuring equipment and I wanted to point out the limitations of your sound card. Now anyone can try to simulate jitter for free by pulling toslink cable out of the jack with DAC locked to the signal. I should patent this and have Monster build toslink cables with variable focus length :o.
