It is also great if you want to split it up/duplicate it, so have multiple outputs on one source signal. Just a cheap splitter will do just fine, and I can simply only turn on the device I currently want to use without any interference or noticable delay whatsoever. No need to tell the duplicater which device I want to use. I tried the setup with aux/chinch y-cables and it was just horrible. It is even fast enough to have the TOSLINK duplicater, then a TOSLINK to chinch splitter, than use that as input for my good old 5.1 system. The other TOSLINK channel parallely goes to 5.1 headphone sender.
