Lower latency because you avoid a D/A-A/D conversion. The sound is the same.

Agree. As long as your audio interface has decent converters, the sound will be the same. The real benefit of the SPDIF connections is when reamping. Normally you will have to deal with at least a bit of noise and signal loss. SPDIF makes it really comfortable. So if you have those connections, why not use them?

Ok! I will try the SPDIF then, and i need 2 cables right?
And thanks for all the answers

But if we forget about the reamping part, if i only want to use the spdif output on the kemper as a stereo spdif input on the soundcard
then i will only need 1 cable right?
