10. S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) Connector
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a newest audio transfer file format, which provides
impressive audio quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of
analog audio. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the S/PDIF connector to other
end of the S/PDIF audio module, which bears S/PDIF digital output. Normally there are two
S/PDIF outputs as shown, one for RCA connector, the most common one used for consumer
audio products, and the other for optical connector with better audio quality. Same as outputs,
you can also connect RCA or optical audio products to input connectors on the module and
have the voice or music come out from your computer. However, you must have a S/PDIF
supported speaker/amplifier/decoder with S/PDIF digital input/output to connect to the S/PDIF
digital input/output to make the most out of this function.
