Finally got around to trying to use that old external usb soundcard I've had laying around for years, to try to get some better results out of my music\streaming laptop.
But needed some connection to test spdif to the (Pioneer) AV amp. Eureka after a while, found 5 meters of standard satcable and soldered on 2 rca's, working great. Later doing some reading, sat\ant cable turns out to be perfect choice for digital audio.
Great, clear sound using SPDIF compared to the quite muddy hedaphones-out previously used as source for the amp, improvements clearly audible on my (midrange) stereo setup.
