Hey,

i got a Denon Home Receiver with 400W of speakers and a 350W Self powered Sub.. haha

i tought of connecting it to my PC..

i dont know how SPDIF works, anyone could enlight me..?

If you're talking about PC output to the receiver, get a toslink cable (Optical SPDIF). It works great.

is that the cabel that goes into the little gray slot..?



The one under the Orange SPDIF

Yes. This is the only one NCIX has in stock, but I found them elsewhere under $10. NCIX.com - Buy Belkin PureAV 12FT Digital Optical Audio Cable - AV20000-12 In Canada.

is there a same slot on the receiver or does it connect elsewhere on a receiver..?

[Babrbarossa]

connect it to any optical input on the back of the receiver - Denons have optical in.

I use that setup for my HTPC, works great. I use digital coax though but same thing.

yeah i got Coaxial and the little slot in the rear.. Cool, i'll go and buy one of that wired and plug her up :P

Thanks Boys!

I prefer using coaxial digital(the orange output on the board) vs optical digital because the plugs for optical are shit at best. When I was using optical out and someone slammed the door shut the damn cable would fall out all the time. No difference in sound mind you.
