Does this have TosLink?

I don't know exactly what TosLink is, but the HSX-109 does have an optical digital audio output. Is that what TosLink is?

I'm SO tempted to get one of these things primarily as a ripping machine that feeds my empeg

Unfortunately, it won't directly feed the empeg at the moment. This is one of the features they are planning for the future. I'm waiting on pins and needles for that feature. And if it would feed a Rio Riot, I might even consider getting one of those so I could use the Riot outdoors while I'm mowing the lawn or whatever.

In another thread, Rob said that Riot support is coming very soon, empeg support coming a little later.
