Then you missunderstod completely. ( sorry for the rubbish spelling, I used the phone and not a native English speaker ) Digital transfers methods is the preferred way for me , for the obvious reason that they are transparent and don't reduce SQ in any way . Well the system is 24/96 that's the rate speaker operates at and the processor . Some would cal that a limitation. ( hint it's not ) It's a lashup of the following digital transfer methods spdiff from the squeezebox . MHR from the G98 via 3 parallel spdiff to the 621 . My G98 DVDA player also use a MHR link with 3 parallel spdif to the g68 processor Meridian speakerlink to the speakers . Speakerlink comes in two flavours spdiff cable and separate control cable and integrated into a Ethernet cable ( data in one pair and control signals in the other ) . The protocol is not Ethernet even if Ethernet cables are used , it's basically twisted pair spdiff. Ethernet is twisted pair low impedance current transfer often via transformer couplers at each end . I.e. You can have very long cables ,that's suitable for speakers . This system works if the cable is up to some modern catX spec , it's basically the same cable design wise but the CAT spec is tighter . But in the speakerlink case the stress for sending spdiff audio in this way is much lower than network traffic frequency is much much lower and signal is not so dense . I use Cat5e patch cables as this is my 3 front speakers . Of course no name cables , as thier is no point in fancy digital cables , it's not how things work . Spdiff cables ar a mixed bag the frebies meridian sent and sometimes Marcus cable who is some coax probably belden with canare RCA connectors made for spdiff , similar to what blue jean cable builds . Again here it is coax spdiff cables at 75 ohm this actually reuses the coax video standard . Again with much lower demands than Video spdiff only uses a fraction of the bandwith a 75 ohm coax is capable of . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
