I used it to connect my computer to the SL input of a DSP5200SE. There was no clipping. Sound quality was comparable to reasonably good quality SPDIF coax, certainly no worse and possibly better in some ways if you have better ears than me.

I used M2Tech HiFace Evo for asynchronous digital to digital conversion from computer USB. The Evo provides both SPDIF (coax and BNC) and AES digital output. I used an AES --> SL interconnect made by MI' using good quality S/FTP CAT 6a cable.
I want to do exactly the same. Do I understand correctly you used used the wiring from the 1st image of the 1st post and used it the other way around? Or is an image missing from your post? I am a little confused to which wiring diagram you refer.

According to the specs AES/EBU should use and accept voltages between 2 and 7 volts. My source has 5v on the AES. I remember reading Meridian is using a lower voltage on the SpeakerLink?
