My ears are burning... ;) Basically, Phil has answered all your questions. I'm using AES/EBU, using a pair of home-made balanced XLR cables. I bought a pair of Blue Jeans TOslink cables, but they wouldn't sit right in the DEQ sockets, and I kept getting dropouts. Eventually, I broke the flap off one of the sockets rendering it useless so I'm sticking with the XLRs! Anyone want to buy a couple of Blue Jeans Toslink cables??!
