I think a Monarchy DIP would alleviate some problems with a long cable run. Cheap enough to try, and they work in just about every application I've seen.
Toslink vs. Digital Coax for Long Run
I need a 15' run of either, from an old Pioneer Elite Laser Disc Player to an Accuphase DP-75V, using this as my DAC, instead of a cheaper DAC that is currently in my video system [non-HD 50" rear projector, used for cable TV, VHS, and LD only].
I use headphones with an amp for watching movies...home theater is not an option. The Video rig is on a different outlet than the audio rig containing the DP-75V, but both are on the same breaker. There are also different power conditioners.
So, toslink to remove any stray voltage problems, or will such a long run of toslink be a poor second choice to a relatively inexpensive Digital Coax cable? Thanks!
