Sony/Philips Digital Interface

Akronim: SPDIF

SPDIF
Sony/Philips Digital Interface. Often written as S/PDIF. It is a
standard (developed by Sony and Philips) for the digital transfer of
audio data. Transferring audio data between two devices digitally avoids
the degradation of quality inherent in using digital to analogue
devices.
Sound cards and CD drives normally have SPDIF connectors. Some TVs
and other devices may also incorporate SPDIF connectors.
