Truth be told, I don't get it. A few years back, I bought an
external DAC, and needed a cable to run from the digital out of
my CD player to the DAC. Both TOSLINK and Coax where options.

I did a bit of research, and discovered that the golden ears of
audio (Stereophile, TAS) find digital Coax superior to TOSLINK,
without exception.

But, of course, there are always exceptions. I do recall a reviewer
finding that a particular DAC (Perpetual Technology?) sounded better
with TOSlink than coax.


I found that once run through a DTI Pro de-jitterer, both sounded the same
into my Proceed PDP (which was very susceptible to jitter). And both
sounded better than they had without the DTI.
