I used to have dacs that accepted glass and EBU. I strongly preferred the glass. Jim Aud recommends 10 m. as the minimum length? Now that I have the Meitner I am back to glass. It, of course, breaks the ground.
AT&T ST glass vs. AES/EBU connection
Just wondering how the fellow "goners" feel about the reproduction qualities between these 2 formats. In particular, I am comparing the Kimber 1/2m orchid balanced interconnect against a Seicor ST glass fiber optic cord. These are being utilized between a Genesis Time Lense and a Timbre DAC. The manuals say that the greatest bandwidth is realized with the ST glass connection, but I was wondering if and how the supposedly additional 2 volts provided by the balanced connection would affect the sound.
