" check the manual for the concise answer here." Oh, I've poured over the manual and, unfortunately, these details are not spelled out and seem hard to come by. They mention the chipset so I've been reading up on the chipset but, of course, chipset is not the same as the actual "implementation"

Very informative. From your reply and further reading, I've come to learn & understand that SPDIF is merely an encapsulation technology and not an audio format per-say. I now understand that SPDIF will pass audio in the format given to it. I'm curious though, if SPDIF is merely a pass through and all you have is an analog source, would you first have to find a way to convert it to digital? SPDIF being a digital format; thus requiring analog to be A/D first? In other words, SPDIF does not have an A/D audio conversion spec, correct?
