Just FYI, it's not mine. I just thought I'd pass it along, as the first

Art, I had a working Transporter and I was messing around with some of
the connections. I got into the same situation you are in, tried to
play from any source and the VU meters would jump and freeze with no
sound. I tried firmware reloads, xilinx resets to no avail. I finally
did a factory reset

I think Phil's point was simply that they are widely used and that if
they were obviously inferior to coax they would not be.

Correct. I don't usually have this much trouble communicating... :-)

The issue of ground plane noise can cause problems even with an optical
connection.
It has to do with the transmitter, either electrical (coax) or optical,
the input to the transmitter has a threshold, a voltage at which it
sees the input as changing from a one to a zero, noise on the ground
pin
Yes the fiber can handle huge bandwidths, but there are two major issues
with common TOSLINK.
One is the fiber itself, its a multimode fiber, its physically much
larger than a wavelength of the light used. The result is that light
entering the fiber at different angles can take different path
That's a completely different issue that gives rise to jitter which
various dacs handle differently. Ground plane -borne noise is
eliminated by galvanic isolation.
Modern TOSLINK interfaces that work extremely reliably at 24/96 are
clearly superior to the 1983 variety...

TOSLINK transmitters are LEDs... Receivers are photodiodes. Modern
TOSLINK interfaces can easily handles 16mbps which is plenty.

The noise we are talking about doesn't change the bits, which is just as
well or computers would be uselessly unpredictable!
But unlike a computer, spdif has a clock mixed in with the bits and the
noise CAN interfere with the certainty of the start/end of the clock

Read up on 'cognitive dissonance' - it explains a lot why those who
invest in lots of expensive gizmos go on to convince themselves that
whatever they've acquired must be better than anything they replaced.
Beyond a certain technical point, then it all depends on physiological
auditory acuity
the comments are all over the place. I don't have time to read them all,
but I got the CNN version of them.
There are a few reasons for having done this. BTW this was my doing:)
Reason #1 and the most important reason is because my customer wanted
to be able to play 24/384 on his 24/384 DAC.
