Kind of. The s/pdif encoding in SB3 is sort of a hybrid software + hardware implementation. When the output is disabled there is no valid data stream, but the logic is still trying to apply the manchester encoding. This results in a waveform which is not intelligible s/pdif, but has similar electrical properties. The vast majority of receivers/dac will NOT recognize this as a valid signal, but some do. In Transporter's V40 firmware this has been corrected (it now outputs 0 VDC when idle) and there is an open bug to do the same on SB3. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43825 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
