Note from soundcard manual

I-S · Nov 11, 2003

This from the manual for the Terratec Aureon soundcard (unabridged quote):

Digital cables.
Even when transmitting audio data via optical fibers, a few, usually inaudible, errors may occur. You should therefore be sure to use high-quality cables that are not too long: flexible plastic cables should have a maximum length of 1.5 m, the less-flexible glass fiber cables may be up to 5 m long.
Audio differences with digital cables seem improbable at first glance, but they can happen nevertheless. This is due to the fact that error correction algorithms are obviously used more frequently at some times than at others to compensate for quality differences between individual cables. However, these audio changes are usually so minimal that you need to be careful not to mix up the myth with the reality. If you're interested, there are a number of somewhat entertaining militant newsgroups dealing with this subject on the Internet ;-).

Mike, how could you ? I mean there are surposed to be one of the best Don't you just want a dac 5:SLEEP: I reckon the trivista dac, might just get the better of it
Another amazing over priced piece of clever marketing, mind you some poor soul trying to unload a dac 4 on hifi for sale for £2750, might just get his asking price, as the awe-inspired 'followers of fashion' could just see it as a bargin. Wm
