Just a thought but if you use the companion inputs then your companion/slave will effectively be pushing an audio stream to the master. Therefore you are using your S/PDIF digital link in the opposite direction. Depending on your beliefs regarding cable directionality this might cause some SQ degradation. With some of us with audio OCD this might be too much to countenance!
