Is that necessary? I didn't need to with the DM.

Shouldn't be just plug it in.

PS. Nice setup, congrats.

It's not necessary, but it's meant to sound better and be faster according to CA.

Fairly-nuff, how fast do you need it - it works or it doesn't is my opinion :D

Those MS-Pro will never disappear from my mind, one day will make the perfect home pair. I like the impact of the alessandros and dont like anything too airy either.

Enjoy.

Hmm, yeah well, I don't see how. If you get sound in the first place, the data has transferred, how fast if gets there is neither here not there. A foot in the realm of cable voodoo IMO.

Some people reckon their optical connection sounds better, but I couldn't pick any diff.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but it only took a couple of minutes, so why not?
