external effects on s/pdif in Luna
the adapter cable is a mini-stereo to 2x cinch female, a regular part from hifi stores.
The cable MUST be a 75 ohm (video - usually with yellow plugs) type.
One could be tempted to apply a regular audio cable (mini-stereo to cinch), which WILL work somehow, but almost certainly spoils the digital stream, resulting in crackles of the sound. Those may not be obvious immediately, so listen carefully.
The VST stuff can be routed via Asio channels - just take care at latency compensation. The data may travel several times through the driver, depending on your routing and of course of the app and the external unit.
cheers, Tom

Yeah usually cables that are "made of silver" have a silver coating on the connector that amounts to maybe 20% of the metal content of the connector... There are much more important aspects to a cable, such as thickness, than having a little dab of silver on an RCA jack.
$0.02!
Incidentally, the Luna S/PDIF in and out are 2 separate connectors.
