If you read the first post you will understand that I bought the TC Electronics Konnekt 8 to use as a Firewire to S/PDIF converter for my Mac Mini.

There is better sound quality to be had from a proper S/PDIF output, especially compared to te Mac Mini’s Toslink optical connection, which is located at the bottom of the line output jack.

The Konnekt 8 specs at 24bit/192KHz and it does every sampling rate from 44.1KHz to 192KHz. I figured I would be fine for an future high rez music that would come into my possession.

Looks like I was sort of wrong. The Konnekt 8 does do 24Bit/192KHz, but those numbers are internal only! The S/PDIF jack will only do 44.1KHz, 48KHz, 88.2KHz and 96KHz.

Oh well, still not enough Hi-Rez music, but eventually will need to try something else!
