CEC has always recommended to use the coax out to any dac based on thats how they built the transport around ,although I used some great big name aes cables and loved it, the coax always beat it out in long run. So to answer your post heres the order. Remember the less hardware in curcuit the better.
I would suggest we should trust our "own" opinion above all else. In my experience of 22 years and having tried many good value and high-end pieces of equipment e. Many of the criticisms of toslink have nothing to do with cable itself, more with how the output jack on the source component is designed. In a nutshell- I prefer the toslink to coax in my set-up and furthermore recent experience with SSP indicates that HDMI for audio is even superior have to listen critically in 2-ch audio mode but more on this later.
Interesting comments from people, I have an acquaintance in CA who swears by Toslink. Of course the noise in CA is much worse then here in Colorado over the power line and my friend feels that his system is much quieter when he uses the optical cables. I live less than 3 miles from the power plant and never found the advantage he did.
I think the higher signal level makes for a improvement in signal to noise ratio. At least for me in sunny Colorado. I'm running my upper end all analog, cd player-preamp-amp. Everythang I've read say's Toslink stinks. And will cd player-processor-another preamp-amp line up be ok?
Will an analog sub eq in place of the processor,analog from cd be beter? EQ's have phase shift. Digital path only one DAC. Toslink vs converter? Digital eq vs analog eq?
I am using either an AirPort Express, known for its jitter or a Dishnetwork receiver to feed optical In both cases, and the AE is worst, the system makes a real screech, almost like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Any suggestions? Magfan, Stereophile claims low word clock jitter ps on digital output and 10x worst performance on analog out sidebands. Your unit might be defective or Toslink or adapter don't make good connection.
The interface will introduce a peak-to-peak jitter equal to the pulse length error. Furthermore POF plastic optical fibre works by internal reflection and the pulses come out longer than they went in.
A digital audio signal is not purely digital though. The bits are digital but the clock is analogue. Just signal integrity doesn't cut it. Warp Drive. Tractor Beam. Room Correction. Affiliations: Hypex , Grimm Audio. Nick, There are actually a couple of off the shelf devices that will fit the bill. Here is a Hosa box that we have used for years to convert toslink to AES.
Mark and Bruno, thanks for your replies. Mark, I hope you can enlighten me here, but I have never held Hosa products in high regard. I admit to having been lead astray by their analog wire products. I guess this animal is in another category, so perhaps I should shed my perconceived notions about their being the low-cost corner-cutter and re-evaluate this prodcut on its own merit?
Maybe you could tell us what you want to do with it?
