There's at least one more reason for it. If you're doing spdif, you're probably handing off the raw digital audio stream to a device that has a much better dolby digital decoder (your amp) than a sound card, so you'll get truer sound. Its an absolute must for me for HDTV and DVD viewing. > On Apr 6, 2007, at 11:52 AM, Cole Tuininga wrote: > > Also, I'd welcome any discussion as to whether SPDIF is even "worth > > it" > > in the first place. -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
