JA20ES operates great with it.

No, theres a stupid 4 position on the front of my 20ES to choose the
input. Slink-e can read what input is in use (toslink 1,2 coax or
analog) - but not change it, and not change the record level either.

Silly sony.. That would be usefull for copying from changers (the 2
toslink ins) and the computer (the coax in).
