Thanks Neil,
I understand that iec958 is 2 channel, maybe I am missing the point, are 
you saying anything that comes out the spdif (optical port) regardless 
of settings will only be 2 channel? Does that mean the max channels if 
for a different output method?


thanks
Sorry if I am missing the point
