digital coaxial vs fiber optical cable

[Asliang]

Points of view are all well and good but if there's something to all this then it would be published. Any cites?

The problem with this type of argument is it relies on the other side to keep digging for details. Probably why rajacat isn't up to the fedex quest.

EDIT: I read that article. Kind of strange he sort of says things matter-of-factly. He states that upsampling adds detail to the music. I would expect a 88.2KHz upsample to be an exact audio replica minus the noise from the 22.05KHz digital filter. And...upsampling that's not exactly twice the frequency of the original is problematic. He just says upsampling is better. Funny man :P

Correct. When someone makes a statement which ends with an exclamation point, I think that requires a bit more than someone who says that they hear a difference. As I've stated over and over, I accept the fact that some folks hear a difference. If someone has some evidence that the difference that's being heard is coming from some cables, I'm very interested in why they are convinced that's the case. So far, that evidence dosen't exist but new evidence is always possible.

Personally, I prefer having as few conversions as possible in any audio/video/digital stream. For that reason I use the digital coax connection.
