Re: S/PDIF Including bus returns?

2012-05-09 by Boris

The summing happens in analog domain - it's just the sum of audio signals.
Getting an external sound from S/PDIF output would require Command Stations to have an A/D converter, which they don't. So it's not a matter of option being implemented or not, it's physically impossible.
