Yes it does look a bit like it with the four colour coded 3.5mm sockets. So
if I want to make a digital connection to my amp (yes it does accept both
optical and coaxial) using the blue I/O socket how do I do that ? What type
of cable do I use ? Will I need the Digital I/O Module that is shown on the
PDF ? Also I presume if I do this, my normal desktop speakers (plugged into
the green socket) will be unaffected ?
