Toslink cable that isn't prone to jitter, possible?


Hi All,

I posted this in cable forum as well. So I have an ancient Pioneer PD-F908 cd carousel. I just recently added the Schiit Bifrost 2 as my DAC, WOW! What a difference! However I tend to get some jitter now and then which from what I understand is normal when using Toslink (Coax is not an option with this cd player). I have read that the DH Labs Glass Master Toslink or the Lifatec Premium Silflex would be the way to go. I am currently using the Voodoo Lightwave Fiber Optic. This is my first DAC and also the first time I've gone Toslink. Again what the Bifrost has done is incredible, I am just hoping to eliminate the occasional jitter and heard these 2 cables may do it...Switching the cd player is not an option. I need a carousel and love this unit!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Not jitter. Jitter would cause harshness to your music or a "glare" type of effect where it lacks a smooth presentation.


If the CDP plays ok using only analogue outputs, then the digital output is not up to the task. It's an old unit.
