Short for Sony/Philips Digital Interchange Format. Typically using Phono/RCA connectors or optical cables (Toslink), this format transfers digital audio (stereo) with timing data, Mostly found on semi-pro and consumer devices where the SCMS protection may inhibit repeated copying of files via S/PDIF even if these files are the user's own.
