i think you're missing the point


the question was/is: if digital audio
via toslink and/or HDMI cables is equal
to that via 6 RCA cables


And the answer is, much depends on the settings
being applied to each. And the relative performance
of the DAC and post-DAC stages involved.

my ears tell me that it is not, and
my hunch is that this is really true
that it is not


Your reasoning about causes and effects is flawed.
