Hi,

I'm looking at an ASUS Xonar DX sound card, and it comes with a Toslink to SPDIF converter cable as it only comes with an SPDIF output. I was thinking, this *should* give you the best of both worlds. An optical cable which is immune to RF interference, and an SPDIF connection which works with the sound card. The question is, how good is the quality of these Toslink to SPDIF converters? Can they cause jitter or degradation of quality? Does anybody know, or have any experience with them?
