Yep. It took all of about six seconds to notice the difference. At first I thought the glass cable was worse, but then realized I was hearing crappy production on the CD. I got out a better disk, and the improvement over coax was obvious (running Sony 9000ES into Outlaw 950). I A/B'ed briefly, and pulled the coax. Percussion was right using the glass optical, but smeared using the coax. So, the coax will go elsewhere...
jb4555, if your DAC only accept coax, use it. There's no point to adding an optical to coax convertor, as it will only hurt the sound. The signal chain will only be as good as the weakest link.
Originally posted by DarkAngel I don't think there is really very much break-in period, the improvement was obvious from 1st minute of installation for me, but probably need a couple days before making any final conclusions. |
