| BNC or Coax? Hey Musicman.Why would you choose the BNC connector over RCA? Tighter connection? But, there are "locking" RCA connectors.It seems that cables w/ BNC connectors are always more expensive than the same cable with RCA connectors. Also, with many com... | |

| Why USB to SPDIF and not optical? Hey dtc."The purist in me would still like to get the original 16/44.1 out to my DAC without the any changes happening in the PC." Why do you prefer 16/44.1 over the higher resolutions? I am under the impression that 16 bits is better than 24 and ... | |
