| What micro-ATX mobo has optical out or a SPDIF pin connector on the board itself with the new Skylake editions? It used to be clear in the past but very poor now on the new editions. Up till now I cannot find any. |

The Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac has an SPDIF Optical output: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z170%20Gaming-ITXac/" rel="nofollow - http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z170%20Gaming-ITXac/ That's not microATX of course. You seem to be right about the mITX boards lacking an SPDIF output in the Skylake series otherwise. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

Thanx, very poor indeed. I am an ASRock fan so since they did not implement it I have to look elsewhere. Nothing worse then an analog sound from a PC mainboard. If you have a no compromise external DAC you don't like PC DACs.
