firewire IEEE1394...


I guess this is a standard for digital data standard as apposed to propritary...

Be what is it for? Where and how does it used?

some of the DVD players come with it...

DVD-A & SACD only output analogue signals for the copy protection thing... unless propriatary approach such as Denon D-link or Meridian MHR that only works betweeen their products.

so... Is is just for the futre.. in case something happens in the futrure?
eandylee
it is the Apple equivelent of USB2 for PCs so will be here for a while in that capacity...
I just learned that Digital audio signal can be transfered with copy protection mechanism just like DVI/HDMI works if both the player and pre-pro/receiver has the interface.

all the digital audio signal forms PCM, DVD-A and SACD.

it can eliminate the 6 cable for DVD-A or SACE but,
Is it suppoed to be better than coaxial for redbook playing?

I see some of the players coming out with it, but non of the pre-pros or receivers so far...
