Alex, interesting comment. My EMM dealer also recommends electrical connection over optical one.

A firiend of mine, who owns dCS Verdi La Scala/Elgar Plus/Verona stack, also prefers AES/EBU interface (he is using the latest AQ The Raven silver cable) over the IEEE 1394 (Firewire).

Alex,

Your comment does not surprise me. As I stated earlier in this thread, my dealer has been recommending AES/EBU connection over the ST cables for a long time.

Since my last comment, I have had a chance to personally compare the AES/EBU intefrace to ST one on my friends CDSD/DCC2 combo (the rest of his system consists of big Canary Audio monoblocks that use 4x300B tubes, Peak Consult Emperor speakers, Stereovox top of the range spk cables, Hydra 8 and all power cords from Shunyata).

We have used Nordost Valhalla AES/EBU cable and as you said - it betters the OE ST cables in every respect. Interestingly, we both feeled that the biggest difference was in the highs, which were even more extended.
