YEs, asynchronous USB is the other key technology, especially I think if a general purpose computer is the source for streaming to DAC and maybe also if one wishes to push the limits in regards to high resolution digital audio files in that this is a newer technology than traditional SPDIF/TOSLINK. Maybe.
Why do digital cables sound different?
I have been talking to a few e-mail buddies and have a question that isn't being satisfactorily answered this far. So...I'm asking the experts on the forum to pitch in. This has probably been asked before but I can't find any references for it. Can someone explain why one DIGITAL cable (coaxial, BNC, etc.) can sound different than another? There are also similar claims for Toslink. In my mind, we're just trying to move bits from one place to another. Doesn't the digital stream get reconstituted and re-clocked on the receiving end anyway? Please enlighten me and maybe send along some URLs for my edification. Thanks, Dan
