   Hi Mike, I just saw this after I sent my other e-mail.

   Yes, this might be the issue.

   I think you can just test your receiver(s) with another 3.3v source
and if you see the same problem then they probably need 5v levels.

   If it turns out that the voltage level is really the problem and
you need to use those receivers I guess this would be the case. I
am not electrical but you might be able to build a small adaptor to
change the voltage levels on the spdif output. This would be another
solution.
