MyST 1866 Bluetooth, Optical, Coaxial, USB DAC/headphone amp impressions thread - Page 3

This is my first experience with blue tooth streaming and for it to be almost on par with USB is very good.  There was a little bit of skipping but likely it was due to my iPhone.  I was using the FLAC player app.  I will play around with different distances and music players on my phone.  

For coaxial input into the 1866 I will need to find a suitable cable.  Any suggestions?  Standard coaxial connector (RCA) is not the mini-stereo sized input on the 1866.  

I vaguely recall that coaxial and RCA interconnect can be used interchangeably so I would need a RCA to mini mono cable?  For my computer I would need a USB to SPDIF converter or if I use a iPod dock there will be a standard coaxial output into the mini coaxial input of the 1866.

USB is better than BT with better quality music but with them both on 16/44.1 its rather suprising. Do you agree that with BT the quality is still stellar! And you should try Coaxial for sure!

With the stock iPhone app as long as you maintain pretty much the same distance it plays flawlessly. Huge upgrade on stock sound.

as for cable it is quite a unique cable you need. MyST sell it for $40. It's a great quality cable and worth getting to ooze the best out of this. Roman makes sure people buy that as pretty much needed!

there is a pic of cable I uploaded!

Thanks for tip!

I will contact Dimitri about this cable or is there another website for this specific cable?  I'm assuming Roman is the maker and Dimitri the only resller or distributor.

Dimitri owns Music Acoustics who resale MySt stuff. Roman makes the stuff and co owns MyCroft the shop you just found and yes, that is the cable!

I will sort you out getting one if you want tomorrow, get you contact with Roman if not already!

I would just like to say, anyone wants help getting a 1866, let me know!

That would be great if you can mediate the transaction because the online store isn't working for me.  It's a little buggy.

I did send messages to both Dimitri and Roman this morning.
