[QUOTE="phwatts, post: 465938, member: 5454"] Doubt whether it's worth it.. they tend to have different pinouts and won't fit the standard chassis cutouts. The very good ones also draw more current so the power supply and filtering may have to be adjusted. The really fast ones also don't fit the standard optical connectors from optical cables. TBH I've never done much A-B testing with S/PDIF on optical, but I have seen enough how poor optical devices change jitter. What you can experiment with is to isolate the power supplies and grounds of the transmitters and receivers and add some proper filtering (passive or active) but I doubt it will help much. For most DIY'ers I'd recommend to rather tweak the electrical interfaces; there are several options out there. [/QUOTE]
