BNC or Toslink??


I recently picked up a cd player that has the option of using either a BNC connection or Toslink. My dac has both connections also. Which is the better connection? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If your DAC is upsampling/jitter rejecting then it doesn't matter. Toslink is worst (slow) and if you have to use it get glass one. Coax should be impedance matched and as sombody suggested optimal at 1.5m (reflections least interfere).

Toslink might help you if you experience ground loops.
