Rega Dac USB vs Toslink

I'm just starting down that path. I have had a Rega DAC for some months now, listening to redbook cd's through my old cd player, which I use as a transport. I just ordered a Silflex glass toslink cable and will start there. will try that as is first. Then I will eventually get the v-link and a short usb, and run the toslink out from the v-link to the DAC, which Collums thinks sounds better than the coaxial connection.

My silflex cable arrived, so I downloaded pure music and some free hi rez sample files. Pretty freakin' amazing, I must say. I'm sold on using the computer as a music server.

I've already noticed a couple of things: the iTunes plus files sound just as good as rebook cd, and the cd's I rip to the computer in AIFF sound better streaming from iTunes into the dac than from my cd transport. Interesting. Looks like the dac's jitter control works pretty good with the silflex toslink cable.
