o to all the questions Bob. I adjusted the latency to 20ms and now I get playback.



Well, yeah, but 20ms is unusable. You need a better solution. 

20ms is irrelevant.  This box does not record or have MIDI.  It is designed for playback/mixing only.  You use your main interface for recording.

What VV said.....Latency isn't really an issue while mixing and mastering without outboard gear. I cranked it all the way up and it works, I can try going lower but for now I'm way happy with it. On a side note this little box is fantastic!!!

It really is a huge help.  I always use use it along with monitors I need to mix in headphones a lot for noise reasons.  Even if I didn't have noise worries I'd still use all the VRM's great assortment of reference speakers/rooms.  If it sounds good on all those it will definitely transfer.

I stand corrected.

Do you need a special cable for S/PDIF, or will any RCA type of cable work? Thanks.

Ordinary hi-fi interconnects will often work, but to be safe pick up a digital cable.
