Optical vs. Dialog Sound Quality

[jonstatt]

I think somewhere there was a thread that explained that the jitter was effectively eliminated as the information has to be re-clocked as part of the transmission from Dialog to phantoms. I will try the same test as you. Could you give me an example track that you felt the difference was most obvious with? My PC soundcard optical output is fed into Dialog and I will use Tidal this way and direct on the Phantom and A/B between the two just as you did.
