What kind of hook up is it?

Thanks!

Interface
Stereo digital audio transmission format.

Yep. And I believe it comes in 2 flavours- coaxial or optical.

And it's so you can move music from one digital device to another without going through the Analogue/Digital conversion process.

There are plenty of inexpensive coax/optical converters around.

Got a particular issue or just asking?

...and it's working just like ADAT optical interface...

You can purchase an audio card with S/PDIF in's and out's cheap from me right here...
