S/PDIF range of PCM2707

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PCM1808

Hi all!

As you know, the PCM2707 USB Audio device is capable of S/PDIF output (besides I2S).

I have a couple of questions regarding using a galvanic (i.e. not toslink) cable for S/PDIF signal transfer (i.e. to a separate Receiver):

1. Can the S/PDIF output of the cip directly drive the signal through a 10 feet cable or do I need like an amplifier or a line driver for this?
2. Is additional ESD protection on the output (like a transformer or similar) required or is the device protected in it self?
