It's all about the system, not the component.

AH,

Jitter may have something to do with it. It also can be the effect the digital cable and the two components react. It could be the interface levels that the two components run on.

See with SPDIF you not only have the data but the clock to derive. The better the data and the clock recovery the better the sound and tpically the less the jitter will effect the sound.

Really this is one of the pains of SPDIF and the reason why everyone should try this stuff out before they buy it. There are too many variables to rely on a review in a magazine and take a chance on Audiogon.

In looking at the components above I would think the Sony probably has better clocking on the output circuitry and the Toshiba relies on probably a PLL derived clock. Fixed oscillators will always sound better than derived PLL clocks.

Thanks
