Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2006 19:50:51 -0600 I think I have, according to what I remember when I got the card, 3 or maybe 4 analog output jacks that would be used for 7.1 sound. I just looked at a description online, and they say optical output, which is good. I also felt these 2 little squarish things sticking out next to the miniplug connectors, wonder if those are the optical in and out as they seem to have a little hole in them that a pin in the end of some cable would connect with. The good thing is that I don't appear to have to convert the signals, it's just a matter of which cable to buy and use. I hope also that it sends the 2-channel signal instead of DTS or whatever. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Hooper" <dave_at_beermex.com> To: "Rockbox" <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 4:35 PM Subject: Re: Iriver H120, SP Dif or optical? > spdif refers to the digital signal that is transmitted.
