For what it’s worth, I recently bought a Simaudio Moon transport to pair with my Moon DAC. I called Simaudio and asked if I should upgrade to AES/EBU or keep using my current SPDIF cable. Their reply was “spend the money on music.”
SPDIF vs. AES/EBU Sound Quality?
All else being equal (same cable, etc.), will the AES/EBU connection provide better sound quality than SPDIF? I just realized by Lumin U1 mini has AES/EBU output and one of my DACs (my favorite) has AES/EBU input.
A forum search and even a google search pulled up nothing definitive and I figured I'd ask before buying an $$$ AES/EBU cable
