Please see the article "CD Audio & 2 Pin cables are not needed - Win 2K / XP"
NOTE: ----- Most CD-digital cables are keyed so that the plug can only be inserted one way in the "CD SPDIF IN" on the Santa Cruz card. Some of these cables may not be keyed correctly for use with the Santa Cruz (the positive and negative leads may be reversed). If this is the case, try removing the plastic key from the plug and inserting the plug the other way 'round in the "CD SPDIF IN" on the Santa Cruz card.
