  Yes, I know about the analog I/O which I intend to fully take advantage
of:-) I didn't understand exactly what SPDIF was. I had an idea it was in
the realm of digital, but I didn't know if you needed an additional
converter like you do for the ADAT optic signals.
  I originally used the wrong word "converter". What I meant to say was
adapter. Like the kind you buy to adapt a RCA cable to a quarter inch imput.
I didn't know if I could run a cable out of the SPDIF and put an adapter at
the other end to make it a quarter inch plug and use it as additional in's
and outs. I really have never come into cantact with SPDIF before. It's a
pretty stupid question I know. I just had no clue.

  What connects to this format? Thanks!!      --Roger
