Some more follow-up on ferrites

Based on some dissatisfaction with I2S and the Jkeny's post in Diyaudio on spdif vs I2s I decided to switch back to spdif as an experiment. I preferred spdif immediately and am trying for my 3rd day just to see (hear) if I respond favorably over time. I have so far. Anyway I went out and got more ferrites and placed them over my spdif cable (I should try over I2S cables now that I think about it). Yes same impact. At 1st I was worried that I may be throwing out some bits with the noise but after browsing some of your references it seems as if ferrites take care of 50-500 mhz and I believe spdif (esp with 16/44 signa) is much lower than that. I don't know if it works on glass toslink but maybe you could try it. Ferrites ... the gift that keeps on giving.
