In Reply to: the old coax vs. optical test in digital cabling posted by bartc on April 8, 2007 at 07:43:34:
HowdyBesides the differences in the transmitters/receivers mentioned, another potential confounding difference is that coax might cause a ground loop or be more sensitive to EMI/RFI either of which which may or may not cause audible differences downstream...
As to the gain difference: the biggest surprise I ever had was that changing the power cord on my transport which was connected with glass fiber to my DAC changed the gain... What the heck?
