Good as the anaolgue outputs may be, I'm sure that going digital will make a siginificant improvement. Couple of questions (sorry if these were asked before, I did try to read through the entire thread...)

Am I right in assuming that equaliser output is available through S/PDIF (as it's in digital domain?). If so, that would be really cool!

Although acadamic, just curious: When going to next track, does the S/PDIF signal contain track markers?

More important, when in-between tracks or just in stop mode, does digital signal remain present, as my D/A can produce some clicks and pops when locking on or off from a signal?

Yes, the equalizer functions the same through the digital out as it does through the analog.

There is no next track signal present, unfortunately. As far as I know, it is not available from the Empeg hardware, and so is not passed through the board.

As long as the player is powered up, the board outputs a valid S/PDIF signal.
