If you're ever feeling useless, just remember that gold plated toslink cables exist

that's exactly how any 4channel board works, what did you expect

came here to post this

You're right. Let's get back to calling eachother poorfags for buying the other brand.

not really. maybe for you. you're part of a monoculture. the same herded brainlets that were pretending to be nuclear engineers when chernobyl was trending or acting like vrm experts when zen2 came out. knowing the surface level details shared in a pop culture bubble. brainlet.

Watching it now.
>Mini-TOSLINK
Mind blown. I've been using the optical out on motherboards for like 10 years and didn't know about it.

Thanks, OP. I needed that today.

Optics are faster than electics, as seen by networks. Every major network uses light to send Pb after Pb of data, not electricity.

Yet the optic for audio is stuck to stereo only for lossless, or compressed 5.1.
When HDMI does 8+ channels in lossless.

too bad encoding and decoding optical signals actually makes them end up much slower, and the people who actually care about speed use microwaves because optical is so bad

The reason why networks use fiber isn't the speed you idiot, it's the bandwidth
You can send much higher frequency signals through fiber than through copper

thx based neckbeard
it made a difference in my day desu

>$2000 titanium HDMI cable

the signal is actually slower on optical because light bounces inside the cable and it actually takes a slightly longer path

t. goldplated toslink cable seller

is it worth hacking the switch? what do you do with it, now that it's hacked? emulate games I imagine, anything else?

Well, you knew about it too so you're no better, faggot

Pros
>all offline games free
>emulate everything up to n64
>offline save backups
>cheats and mods
>custom themes
>can play bought games online

Cons
>cant play pirated games online
>keeping up with the tranny filled hacking scene

Hello retard.

That's the fucking point.
More bandwidth instead of being limited to 2 channel lossless audio, the higher bandwidth would've given an updated fiber audio cable all the benefits of multiple lossless sources.
But unlike HDMI and other electrical cables, it doesn't suffer from interference from other cables or electrical sources.
A regular 100cm 15dB is the equivalent of a 0dB 80KM long fiber.
So you're not restricted by the length of the cables either.
longer path at 100 times the speed of electricity

The video was released yesterday, so it's a safe assumption that's where this post came from. When was the last time you saw an optical audio discussion thread on Jow Forums?

Yeah but he didn't make a thread about it.

hot damn, gonna look into this. thanks user.

You must be a brainlet if you ever bricked your console
Also sometimes games leak early
And you can overclock at your own discretion

any games you recommend? they're so fucking expensive I've got mario kart and breath of the wild. don't say smush, ultimate is not for me as a melee player.

Just go nintendos webpage, anything that catches your is probably gonna be good
I just play old games i missed out on the wii u and 3ds right now
Like captain toad and pokken

gotcha. thanks again buddy.

This has nothing to do with being "faster", the latency is the same

What a load of pretensious garbage

Don't they also gold plate because it's a malleable material?

They gold them because boomers are attracted to shiny things

Look at these retards getting dictated what to watch by the YT algorythm.

It may be stupid but half the time the cables with the gold plated placebo connections are also the only cables with decent QC and construction

Poorfags can't into my bespoke artisanal cables.

toslink could have 2 way communication on one strand if the connector had two different led colors, one blue and one red. and could use either to send/receive different colors can move past eachother without interacting.

a consumer audio format doesn't need to be bi-directional though

I was honestly glad I lost it. Some consoles are just fragile shit like that.

Also the remove all power sources to reset firmware works for desktops, laptops, game consoles, electric fans and kettles. Firmware is generally so brittle these days it should be banned.

The speed of electricity through copper is approx 95% that of light in a vacum, however you need to allow for conversion from light to electrical signals as well, so they pretty much even out

And optic signals still doesn't get interference while electric can.
important in non-grounded apartments.
