If both the transport and DAC have RCA and AES/EBU connections, and assuming comparable quality cables are used for the 2, how would the sound differ? Which would you prefer? Thanks
I have always found digital AES/EBU connections to sound relatively thin in the midrange. I have also found that using BNC or true 75 ohm RCA connectors is a significant upgrade if you use the coax connection.
Garfield. I know from experience that the Sonic Frontiers preamps are significantly better when using balanced out - this is because they have better dynamics this way - it has little to do with the bal vs unbal debate, just the way the SF gear is designed. You may be in for a treat.
