You know what I've always wondered. They've managed to become such a popular company that there are countless people on Headfi that can't manage to spell "sure" (not the proper noun company name) correctly and instead spell it as shure
It looks like the 840c has coax and toslink. So the adapter that Salt Peanuts linked should work fine with an optical cable.

I don't even care if it's not catchy. The Fragile is my favorite NIN album. This album lacks the "glue" that holds it together. And it's boring, lacking in energy, emotion and just feels bland. I should probably just stop listening to NIN, Trent knows the direction he is taking the band already.
