There is no correct answer to this question As pointed out above the bits are not the problem - The problem is with the timing information provided by the data edge transitions. Both connections methods have their drawbacks and all transceiver implementations have their own foibles. From

One nice attribute of the Coax approach is that you can use your Coax in the walls to connect systems remotely. In my case, I use the DAC in the Transporter locally to my 2 channel system and also use the Coax digital out to connect it into my home theater system on a different floor. Although

I was wondering if there was any difference (in quality) between using a coaxial or toslink connection from a SquzzeBox Classic (3) to a DACMagic; and if one is better than the other, could someone please recommend a decent make of cable to use. Thanks. -- jbloggs

Coaxial. Cheaper and more robust cable. -- badbob badbob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7358 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57942
