In theory, I think that you are right. However, for whatever reason on
his Windows install (same hardware, I just formatted the drive) he had
a hard time configuring it to send digital. There is some software
tool especially made for pendants to check this in Windows :)
He does not want to buy a new cable when the current cable works fine.
He just wants to know that it is digital.
