I've NEVER damaged anything by connecting s/pdif to AES. > The problem would be the other way around. From the top of my head, AES can output up to 7V whilst SPDIF allows max. 0.7V or so. Even though it's good practice to allow for those 7 volts even on SPDIF, not all equipment is designed that way.

It's weird that toslink isn't mentioned, that's true. 75 Ohm is mentioned, don't know about the connector material. SCMS is a joke ;). The problem with this standard, as with many, is that it isn't followed rigidly by everyone. And exactly that creates problems like the one showcased here. It's a miracle it so often works at all. -- Griffin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Griffin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84280 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
