My reference DAC (Mark Levinson) has an AES/EBU LED which according to the manual refers:
"This LED lights when the No35 detects that the digital program being processed conforms to the AES/EBU professional standard.
Note: The aes/ebu :ED lights only when AES/EBU professional standard recording information is present in the data stream.
Using AES/EBU-standard interconnections doesn't activate this LED unless AES/EBU data in present in the source material."
Any of the technical gurus out there knows what this bit gives me for better SQ?
