We are indeed in agreement. Thanks for clarification.
TOSLINK Optical vs Coaxial for CD transport to DAC
I have just purchased a DAC so I can use my oppo 205 as a transport and having an optical cable on hand I just used it to get things up and running. I bought the optical cable years ago and it was advertised as being actual glass as opposed to plastic?
At any rate I'm wondering if using a Coaxial cable instead would offer better audio performance, mostly looking for better resolution of micro details.
Thanks for your thoughts and experience.

I've tried a few coax cables out from my disc player to my integrated and every one had occasional drop outs. A high quality RCA IC never did (it even sounded better) but a glass Toslink sounded the best and never has drop outs. Trust your ears. 96Khz done right sounds fantastic. All the best, |
+1 @nonoise Just goes to show you have to try things for yourself in your own system. Good post. |
