Hi.

With the growing number of people on this board that use their (backup) empegs as MP3 players for their home stereo, I wonder if anyone could throw together some sort of SPDIF output kit like Brian's backlighted buttons kit (the electronics part, not the shine-through buttons).
In other words, could anyone put a kit together with the right I2S to SPDIF converter chip, appropriate SPDIF output socket and whatever else might be needed? I am thinking about adding SPDIF output to my backup unit, but I have absolutely no knowledge regarding audio electronics, but I do have enough soldering experience to solder an add-on board to those I2S connector pads on the MkII(a) board.

There is still a "but" to this: If I added SPDIF, would I still be able to use the empeg's EQ? Even on Aux-In? If both could be answered with Yes, I would be all for it. If only the first would be answered Yes, I would probably still go for it. If both would be answered No, I wouldn't see much use in SPDIF output.

cu,
sven
