Re: [xl7] Re: SPDIF

FYI, I was using a Hosa Digital cable as well and had terrible results 
with it.  Went to Best Buy and bought a Monster Cable SPDIF cable and 
immediately I had a LOT less crackles in my SPDIF signal.  Might want to 
try another brand, I personally think all Hosa cables are complete crap, 
audio, midi, whatever.

If you're on a budget and need quality cables, I recommend the ProCo 
brand, though they don't make digital cables.  My whole studio is pretty 
much ProCo Excellines, with some Mogami here and there.

I'm using a HOSA 6' "digital" RCA cable, which should be more than 
adequate for the task.  None of my 
other components display this behavior, and since other people are 
experiencing this, I'm thinking that the XL-7 SPDIF-out design is 
pretty much defective.   Wah.
