Unsuprisingly, the digital connection sounds better (less noise etc). Has anyone experimented with keeping the output in digital mode all the time? I guess that some things would have to be resampled (I'm thinking of some games that only use 22KHz output etc, and some cards will only output digital at 48KHz). Any ideas? Stephen
