Some time ago i received a USB spdif converter from @NKMA (thanks!). While trying it out i noticed that the output coax was nice but the optical wasnt the best sounding. I subseqently broke the dust cover for the optical port so a fix was on the cards. The long and short of it: 1. The stock optical transmitter (TX141L) did not match the part number on the PCB. Although similar, the items are not identical (says the datasheets). 2. TX147 installed. No discernible difference now between optical / coax. 3. Transmit power and / or port design might have something to do with it. (The port was different on the stock item to replacement transmitter). If anyone is using one of these, check the transmitter. The model reference is on the back of the plastic housing. If its not a TX147 (and especially if its a TX141L), there might be gains to be had with swapping the optical transmitter. I went with the option of a removable dust plug.

Silverlink is made from pure extruded silver wire which is specially made for Osborn Loudspeakers. It is extruded into one continual length. Many reference cables up to $6,000 per pair were used as comparisons during the selection phase. Neither I, nor any of my customers have yet found an interconnect to match the performance of the Silverlink. Silver Interconnects often suffer from a brittle top end and a restricted bass performance. The sonic purity, transparency, inner detail and soundstage of the Silverlink is extraordinary in both XLR and Single Ended interconnects.." from www.osbornloudspeakers.com.au/osborn-speaker-cables . 23)Monster cables xlrs $100 24)Clearer Audio Silverline hdmi i metre $100 25) QED purple UNEX HDMI- $100
