It is system dependent - what works for him might not work for you. Toslink doesn't make ground loops and is free from electrical noise pickup or reflections in the cable, but is sensitive to system noise because transitions are slow. Slow transition in presence of the system noise can cross threshold point at different times creating time jitter that converts to noise and loss of clarity.
Toslink or Coaxial from Bluesound Vault 2 to external DAC?
Michael Lavorgna reviewed the Vault 2 on Audiostream: https://www.audiostream.com/content/bluesound-vault-2
When connecting to an external DAC he preferred Toslink to coax. I rarely even consider using Toslink for hifi. Anyone else have a similar experience to Michael or care to weigh in one way or the other?
