Coaxial link has chirps and gaps after playing cds for a while
I just bought a burson amp/dac and was playing around with it. One of the things I did was connect the coxial cable from the output of my Marantz SACD player to the coax in of the Burson.

Shure SE846: A New In-Ear Flagship From Shure. Finally! (Impressions p26-28)
Why would you want to compare two systems that are clearly designed for different purposes. I have both a home system and portable/desktop headphone system.

The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP
