RE: 'IMO, SPDIF from a computer would be the last method of connectivity to use as far as digital connections.

Uh...no...you go first. My feelings are reserved for my wife and my therapist.

Why would SPDIF, which is designed to transport digital audio, be the last method of connectivity to use as far as digital connections?

USB's limited distance speaks to its frailty. Ditto with wireless. Wireless can be disturbed too easily: walls; angle of signal propagation; etc. USB and firewire require special purpose drivers utilizing complicated programming.

There is no need to rely on methods not purposely developed for digital audio to transport digital audio when purpose-built digital audio methods are commonly available.
