      It is still cool. Cooler because of its age. It’s the OO. They even named it something funny, tossers.

      And a good place to look if you want simultaneous audio. Snyone hard of hearing can have a separate audio stream.

        I thought that galvanic isolation was pretty much toslink’s only true advantage nowadays? Don’t see why you can’t have dual audio with traditional wires.

          Oh, idk. Sounds like you know more than I do.

          I just know. I’ve had good luck plugging headphones into them and not having the audio “switch” to that as the sole audio out and disabling the speakers.

            Just a hobbyist haha I ain’t gonna try to convert you to some other standard like some kind of audiophile. If it works for you it works right
