Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I have to speak about the spdif cables from hosa, (also 1/4" and stereo rca) I have both hosa and monster. The problem with hosa is they die often. Not a problem if you have more than a couple as spares, but monster guarantees their cables, just take it back where you bought it, with the receipt, and they give you a new one. (Lifetime warranty). I have 4 dead hosa spdif (also too many to count of the other hosa). No returns just hoping one day another unit will work with them. I usally tear the others (1/4" and rca's) in half and use the good parts together. 
Good luck...

I have my XL-7 going into my Edirol M-16DX digital mixer using S/PDIF - perfectly clean and no hiss whatsoever. Get a good RCA cable (I got a 2-meter Hosa “digital” RCA cable (shielded) for about $10 - works great), but don’t bother with the $100 cables from Monster.
