I suppose it's how it's implemented in the DAC, certainly seems to sound better than sp/dif in my case anyway.

I'm Ken.
On my Stello CD Transport I'm spoilt for choice regarding digital outputs, it has toslink and coax, AES/EBU(XLR) and i2s from a mini XLR. I would also go with the AES/EBU, but in theory the i2s should be the best, as all the other systems sit on top of i2s as an additional process, this also applies to USB, which has the additional hindrance of carrying lots of non audio traffic as its the main bus. Still if its working for you Ali, I'll go with the old adage, "if it ain't broke don't fix it".Originally Posted by Gazjam

Indeed. Agree about I2S, I'd use it if it was an option. The DAC sounds damn fine as it is though..

Curious usb cables are great, especially at their price. I replaced a tq Graphite with one and a mate replaced his lightspeed usb with them too.
