epox8rda+and S/PDIF

[ariker]

Hello everybody,
what is this device(S/PDIF) like?
and how is this device used...

 

[TKH]

It is a bracket which has S/PDIF I/O controller IC on it. You just mount this bracket on back plate of your chasis (it occupies one PCI slot), and connect the S/PDIF input/output cable to the header on your mobo and you are ready to run. I couldn't find a link to this but I read from a review said that the product model should be something like SD650, but not sure about this because that review is not in English or any languages I know.

You never know how stupid you are until you have done something stupid enough for you to realize it.

S/PDIF = Sony Philips Digital InterFace.

It's a method for transfering digital audio.

The most common PC application is to connect your PC to a Digital Receiver.

<b>99% is great, unless you are talking about system stability</b>

Yeah... and usually by using either a coaxial or fibre optical cable.
