theres a switch labelled 'phase'. Wonder what that does?

Inverts the phase which can sometimes improve the sound. (Buggered if I know
how or why though......)

I understand that S/P-DIF spec allows for data to be sent "normal" or
"inverted". I have no idea why, but some of my equipment can send the
S/P-DIF info either inverted or normal. The other gear seems to
auto-switch in order to deal with it.

There is no way to change the phase of the S/PDIF stream itself since
it is biphase encoded. One can invert the audio phase of the
datastream extracted from it with a simple inversion.
