Are all Coax digital transports the same?


I've recently found out about how toslink digital adds jitter, and the problems it puts into the music.

So I saw my DVD player has a copper, coax digital out. It's a cheap DVD player, about $40. But would it be a perfectly faithful transport (assuming I have a good cable) for CD into my receiver for DAC'ing?

Agree with Kijanki. But also, you might try a glass Toslink, which is far far far better than the plastic Toslink junk. If you have a Toslink that doesn't say it's glass, then it's certainly plastic.

Some think a glass Toslink equals, or even exceeds, coax. Plus, though you can spend a lot on glass Toslink, there is a really good one for $19 for 6 feet, at:

I mentioned this before and received several emails from those who tried it and loved it. I think I'll do another post on this subject here or on Audioasylum.
