    like i said dev, a question was put to me by one of my customers, he has a cdp that has only an output that is rca sp/dif and wants to buy the m1 dac but he is confused that that partcular dif output may not work with a sepperate dac for 2 channel sound, the only experience i had with sp/dif is via home theatre based systems, never via an rca to a purpose built dac for 2 channel sound reproduction, i will not sell him the dac unless i can be sure it will work,

    I don't know if I follow you, but RCA S/PDIF will give you both channels. One cable is all that's needed between almost all CD players & almost all DACs.

    thanks alan for the advice, went to the guys house with the dac, it works well also took a dedicated transport toa/b test ,the dif has cojestion factor where the transport sounded more open and detailed, still he bought the dac, thanks.
