Yeah, mine is this but mine is 32GB storage and 3GB RAM. Around RM 202 with daily bank credit card promo. rclxms.gif
Not worth for it. RM 18. Can get much much cheaper outside. I didn't expect I had to go to LYP yesterday, saw in Viewnet only RM 4. sad.gif

Otherwise we'll have to drive over to your house...😂

you confused with the term?

optical a.k.a toslink is subset of spdif

spdif = toslink / coaxial

hdmi/optical best.

BT won't pickup the noise but i doubt u can have stable uninterrupted audio stream.

u will always read all this coax vs optical over the web, says coax theoretically better than optical because it doesn't need to convert signal twice like optical hence lower jitter kind of thing.

but for me, optical sounds better to me, a bit clearer sound.

For same file, i find little difference between the 2.

But for coaxial, a noticeable diff comparing high grade audio rca cable vs cheap common one.

i am not believer in all these cables.

for optical, i just get the cheap 1 from computer shop.
for coaxial, i just get the cheap 1 from hardware shop.
for hdmi (below 2m), i just use the 1 bundle with device.
for rca, i bought the 3 meter philips because best denki got offer last time. tongue.gif
for speaker cable, i just get the RM4/meter from jalan pasar. i did try the RM13/meter belden cable, but i feel a tad bright to me.

...its electrical interferences...

the question is...what is generating it? what is picking it up? objective is try to eliminate either one or better both...

I suspect its gonna be tough for you to test, since you don't have a stash of cables, power blocks, dac, etc...

anyway can try these process of elimination first...

1. with everything hooked up, switch off power to the box...leave the speaker power on...got problem?
2. switch power to box on, unplug 3.5mm from the box but leave it near the box...got problem?
3. if 2 got problem, switch power to box off...got problem?
4. Use old 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable...I know only one side got sound but...got problem?
...
try a different power block to the box if possible...ask friend who has similar or different box to try...
