Did you get the Crystal S/PDIF with the Slave?

Yes, it came with the Crystal S/PDIF cable. Interestingly, Oxford Audio provided a Chord Sarum S/PDIF for with the demo slave. I'm not sure it's possible to tell the difference between a Crystal and a Sarum, but I said myself that that I thought the demo unit sounded better, you never know! We'll see after some run in time. It also came with a trigger cable, which I believe Devialet have only just started to do. The trigger cable looks like a very cheap item, although I guess it's function is fairly basic and not related to sound quality.
Would be interesting to compare the Chord and Crystal cables back to back.
Yes the trigger cable is new, it wasn't included in the box when I got my 500 last year.
