Hi. I have one newbie question. If i want to play some audio source that is
connected to my receiver with some digital link ie. optics then some logic
tells me that there should be no difference if i played it from some crapy
mobile phone (if it can send digital signal through ie. optics) or some high
end audio box? Is this true? I mean in digital world 1 is always 1 and 0 is
always 0 so if the rigth bits come from source to receiver that's it.
Regards.


Yes and no (sorry about that). While the mobile phone's digital
connection should be capable of supplying the quality you are looking
for, it is unlikely that the music is unlikely to be stored on the
phone in a high quality format. It will be an MP3 in all probability.
MP3 files' quality varies from indistinguishable from the original to
truly dire. This depends on how small the final file is.
