Rega Dac USB vs Toslink

I did not try the Toslink, so pardon me if I'm wasting your time. However some suggested that the Rega DAC is best when using the SPDIF connection. I added the 99 dollar Musical Fidelity V-link and found that the Rega's sound was improved even further. My friend replaced his EE Minimax Plus with the Rega and V-link, so that may tell you something.

Great DAC....enjoy!

Just compared USB with Toslink using a mac-mini. Toslink blows away the usb. Tighter bass, better resolution, more open and engaging sound.

Get a glass toslink cable and compare IMO. I bought a Sonicwave glass cable from Amazon for about $25 shipped. It sounds so much better than any fiber cable (read plastic) that I've tried. Some of those plastic cables weren't cheap.

Toslink has an advantage that it eliminates electrical noise.

I was always under the impression that toslink had more jitter than usb.
