since this is where this subthread originated, just step by step... # It's digital data, but it's sent over an analogue transmission # path. The # 1s and 0s are converted to different voltages and the # resulting signal # sent down the cable.
es, agreed. bmc is not about 0 and 1, it´s about positive and negative polarity. the question is, what's the motivation for that. you make claim it makes it more prone to problems? quite the contrary. # If the signal on the cable gets distorted in any way then the # signal # produced by the receiver may not match that fed into the # transmitter. and the whole point is that that does not matter when it comes to recovering the original data. the signal may look different, and that's acknowledged and accounted for. the exact same data with the exact same clocking information arrives, though, and the different packaging does not make a difference when it comes to data integrity -and in our case digitally encoded audio data- which is all the digital domain´-which processes the data- cares about. have you truly claimed analog transmission elements that do *not* affect SPDIF bit integrity still have an effect? i could imagine reasons why that´s that case in a real world implementation, but that has little to do with the SPDIF protocols... -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33146
