This "confirms" (lack for a better word here) what I suspected as well.
I used to feed my MiniDAC via Apogee's own AES cable from my Rosetta200. Now I have expanded my rig with a Rosetta800 as well and I can't afford to buy the AES D-Sub yet so right now I'm feeding my MiniDAC via a consumer lightpipe from the R800. It actually feels like I've lost some clarity/definition in the sound?!
Really hope it's not my ears givin' up on me
