Thanks Mudge & dpstjp,

I am very happy with my SOtM card into my G61R via a USB cable & so given the fact, I could use an Explorer it would indeed by interesting listening to an Explorer in my system. Would the optical be the best option? I thought it wasn�t - but what do I know, I am but a simple joiner.
