Digital coaxial advice needed

The darned cables all sound different unfortunately.What works best for you may not work well in my system.Audio Envy is a good place to start.I really like their ics and pcs.The digital cable did not work out for me though others have been very happy with it.

@ sonicjoy why's HDMI better than coaxial?

It’s not HDMI, it’s the "I2S protocol" See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I²S


And here is Paul owner of PS Audio explaining it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrRV7hAKiIQ

Yes i noted. As some say, google is your friend.
So, IS2 hammer both coaxial and aes/ebu balanced digital connection it seems!?
If so i don't get why there's only one port for IS2 on the dac i ordered.
If jitter is zero and bandwidth is top, you'd like to connect a streamer and a transport to IS2. Nobody is pulling cables back and forth so this is annoying. Now it seems balanced digital is better than coaxial, so best would probably be to use a transport using IS2 for a streamer and a balanced digital for transport, or am i making the wrong assumption?

I2S is not widely adopted yet. Mostly found on higher end equipment where maximum performance is the goal. My "Wyred 4 Sound" DAC also only has one I2S input. But my transport does not use it. That's not to say that SPDIF coax sounds bad, it does not. It's just not the best that is possible.
