"...in the real world everyone uses Toslink. It’s the International Standard for a digital audio interface. USB requires that the computer be within three metres, making a noise and ruining the look of a listening room. Who wants that?
From the outset S/PDIF was designed as a high performance digital audio interface and has been universally accepted as such. It is especially beneficial that there is no electrical connection between the source and DAC. Who wants to risk connecting a noisy computer to his prized DAC?"

"In truth all DACs are within spitting distance of each other although ours might be slightly ahead at the moment. Jitter isn't an issue though we use SRC to eliminate it completely."

"These days a 4 pence Op Amp makes a perfect preamp and for a pound you get one that's even better, though you won't hear it. Both are a thousand times better than tubes."
