Katie Roiphe, Gay Divorcee

"In the weeks after my husband moved out, I received an email from someone offering to help me clean the house or cook, an email that evokes images of dishes piling up in the sink, flies hovering around half-eaten peanut-butter sandwiches, laundry accumulating. I wonder where these nightmarish visions of our domestic situation are coming from. Why would the departure of my husband launch me and my daughter into a life of squalor? Someone else writes: 'There are no words for a catastrophe of this magnitude. I am thinking of you.' And it begins to seem as if my husband has, in fact, not moved five minutes away but died."

digital is digital?

I may have finally found the place that can answer my questions.
Reading the other posts here makes be believe this is all a lot more complex than I had been aware of.

--- Are there different "versions" of "spdif out"?
--- I always asumed spdif out was the same no matter what the device outputting it. Are there factors that effect the "quality" of the digital signal?
