ng there isn't general
acceptance yet that usb in some form will displace spdif in high end
audio (and not so high end, i hope). once that sinks in, i'd expect
the slim folk to add usb output.
in the mean time i'm back to rolling my own
ertainly write a client that emulated an sb, but running on a
pc, to get this, but then i don't get the cool display and the sleek
case, which is at least part of the reason for an sb at all.

I did a search for "usb" in the forums but got nothing back. Has there
been any discussion of adding USB digital audio output to a future
SqueezeBox version?
If so, URL?
If not, can someone from Slim Devices comment?

bit error rate (BER), is
typically significantly higher in Toslink than coax for audio gear.
