Asus A8N SLI Premium - Use the optical or S/PDIF to my amp

irishkeet · 07-03-2008, 9:15 AM

HI

I have the asus A8N SLI Premium board, this motherboard provides connectivity to external home theater audio systems via an optical or coaxial S/PDIF-out jack. It allows to transfer digital audio without converting to analog format and keeps the best signal quality.

I was wondering what would be the best way to connect to my amp S/PDIF or optical.

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks

Dont think it makes a whole lotta difference TBH. Its probably more down to the amp and how well it deals with each input, also maybe the length of cable run you plan to use. I believe optical is better for longer distances.
