Just so set some of the terminology straight, no offense:) The name of the plugs on optical cable is TosLink (something Toshiba developed). S/PDIF (Sony / Philips Digital Interconnect Format just describes the protocol used to transfer audio digitally. The same data is transmitted in both TosLink cables and coaxial ones, they are both used for S/PDIF. An S/PDIF cable could then be either one. -- Skinny ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skinny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21538 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57942 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
