abit nv7-133R sound have toslink or spdif coax output?

[unknown8585]

the descriptions say the board has spdif, but the picture definately shows a toslink. can anyone verify that it is a spdif coax and not a toslink. thanks

also, is the usb 2.0 attached to th mobo, or do we have a connector to connect the mobo through a pci device or slot.

Ooof.

S/PDIF is a data protocol for sending digital audio. It can be in either a TOSLINK (optical) or COAX (RCA style) physical format. Both physical formats are still called S/PDIF!

See this for more info about S/PDIF:

Having said that. If you look at the pictures of the motherboard and the add-on ports, it looks like there is only a TOSLINK S/PDIF connector (IN and OUT). So, the specs are just kind of missing the physical format for S/PDIF.

Here are the photos that I found:

I hope this helps. I'm also thinking about buying this motherboard.
