This information is inaccurate at best and self-serving at its worst, Park. The digital audio data is fully and comprehensively converted by a transformer, particularly going in the direction of SPDIF > AES. Spec is met 100%.

This is daily routine in cost-no-object professional applications I have employed countless times where the requirement is to bridge the formats electrically and extract the audio flawlessly. So, yes. Buy those transformers. Your SPDIF coax digital audio will become flawless AES balanced digital audio, which was the point, no?
