Re: the old coax vs. optical test in digital cabling

Howdy

Besides the differences in the transmitters/receivers mentioned, another potential confounding difference is that coax might cause a ground loop or be more sensitive to EMI/RFI either of which which may or may not cause audible differences downstream...

As to the gain difference: the biggest surprise I ever had was that changing the power cord on my transport which was connected with glass fiber to my DAC changed the gain... What the heck?
