No doubt this is a guffaw inducing question so please bear with me!

My new Benchmark Dac has arrived this morning, which is being fed by a Sb Duet, anyhow i get the error red light when i try and connect the two via Coax? (and no sound)

No probs doing it through the optical but im just curious as i must be doing something wrong?

(and how much, if at all, is optical worse or better than coax?)

The HD650 is a limiting factor in your line up. I have been using both the HD650 and HD800 on my Caiman, and can't recommend the HD800 highly enough. The amount of detail the HD650 can't resolve is now quite clear to me.
