[QUOTE="croak, post: 23410, member: 361"] While doing some googling on SPDIF interfaces I came across this note from Z Systems, a pro industry digital processor company. They talk here of converting AES to SPDIF inputs etc and what intrigues me is that they quite specifically specify a carbon film resistor to be used for the SPDIF input terminating resistor and metal film elsewhere. Anyone care to speculate why? Would emf radiation be less from CF vs MF? http://www.z-sys.com/lit/r-003.PDF Also see that Theta uses Zeners across their SPDIF inputs. Just to be safe to not cause damage if to high a level is applied or for other reasons? [/QUOTE]
