Toslink vs. RCA


In virtually every review of DACs and jitter reduction devices, RCA seems to be better than TOSLINK for the transmission of S/PDIF. This seems strange to me considering that a whole host of nasties like EMI and transmission line effects can be eliminated with optical transmission. Does anyone know why RCA is better?

Called Steve at Great Northern Sound this morning. Found him to be very friendly and helpful. He has three different AT&T ST cables available. The first two were out of my price range ($400 & $900 as I recall). The third was the 3 meter Wadia and the price quoted was ~$60 including shipping. I opted for it.

Thanks again, 6chac.
Would you please e-mail me the phone number of Great Northern Sound.

Thanks
