I don't understand... it's already an (optical) digital signal, right?
How does Archos claim that is an "optical" input if it doesn't actually
read it in *optical* format? I know it's possible for hardware to
record off this signal, my MiniDisc player does it. I expected Archos
was advertising the same capability... ?
