Don't know, does the Lens demodulate the incoming data, bring the data back to 1 and 0, regenerate and reclock the data, clean up the signal, take 83% of jitter out of the Toslink, 50% from the RCA Coax (the Theta TLC actually adds jitter to the RCA Coax) and than processes the signal. Not to mention the Super Drive adds a BNC (best dig connection) output with a 3db gain for a long cable run up to 100ft but works wonders on a standard 1.5m dig cable. I don't know, does the Digital Lens do this? "Take a DIP" (superdrive)
