FWIW, I was proposing to put balanced AES through the snake.

* SPDIF isn't balanced, not even impedance balanced. AES is. * SPDIF or AES probably won't survive a standard
snake cable
of any practical length. SPDIF requires coaxial, AES requires
110 ohm screened twisted pair.
OK, I didn't catch that AES required a shielded cable. Thanks!
