Ah, I think I understand this better now. There are two formats, IEC60958 and IEC61937. The latter could be considered to be at the same level as PCM data (the sort of thing embedded in a WAV file), I think; either IEC61937 or "normal audio" (according to what I've been reading) can be sent over IEC60958. So when I asked about the SB2 encoding data for S/PDIF transmission, I think I was talking about encapsulation in an IEC60958 stream, which is a valid thing to do for WAV audio data or IEC61937 data. I was worried that encapsulation would occur twice, but now I think that's not the case. Does that sound right? -- smst _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
