[flame suit on] Personally I find it unfortunate that S/PDIF was ever specified to run over coax copper in the first place. There are some who claim it's better than fiber for various reasons, but all empirical data says that optical S/PDIF is FAR more reliable, works over longer distances, and delivers measurably lower jitter at the receiver. It also inherently isolates ground offset, low frequency and EMI noise between devices. The only good reason to use coax is if you don't have an optical cable or an optical input available, which is primarily why we have the connector there. [/flame suit]
Could you please take this to the Audiophile forum, or I'll have to report you to Slim Devices?
