hmm. Why not just the USB connection instead? Seems like going through extra trouble for no real benefit to use the spdif? What's making you want to use SPIF? After all, it will be the same signal, and the same sample rate as usb? Just curious

That's a good question Todd and your right they sound exactly the same, to me.
I have been using usb, why I want to use spidif is because when I use usb I must have my monitors connected to the line 6, and the line 6 becomes my soundcard. All volume levels need to be controlled from the line 6 on the floor. If I want to use just my headphones there is no way of muting the monitors, and controlling headphone volume and monitors separately. The monitors must be turned off and to turn off my monitors I have to power of my sub which is a pain in the ass going from using headphones to using monitors and back. I switch from headphone to monitors a lot.
Also having the processor connect usb it needs to be on to use my monitors to listen to my iTunes library or you tube or any audio from my computer, sometimes I would like to just turn on my computer on listen to music without powering on processor, and just use my interface.
Also you can have the processors analog outputs connected to the interface with spdif connected and record 3 tracks at once with one track being dry and re-amp.
So like you said, usb and digital sound the same and with me I can still have the convenience of using my audio interface and it's built in mixer program to control all levers of different audio returns, so if it's more convient, sounds the same, and can re-amp why not use it?
Big reason being controlling levels within close reach and using my Interface as soundcard Instead of line 6
And I also tried using line inputs of my AI, line6 line out is way to quite.
So I then went into the preamp of AI through balanced out, don't want to use preamp of my AI FOR the processor. Usb works great. But looks like digital out does everything the way I want it to.
