Thanks for the reminder Darren. Yeah that test demonstrated that we should not use a cheap poorly/unshielded RCA wire in place of a proper coaxial digital cable. This is of course not a "proper" digital cable but just a way to show that indeed noise can creep into the system and cause problems. Furthermore, this was mainly with using EDO on a Touch running at 24/192 which isn't actually standard spec for the device (although even at 24/96 there were hints of problems). I'll do an update on the recent post reminding folks to use proper cables and watch for interference in any case!
