AES/EBU is not the same as lightpipe.
AES/EBU is pro standard, balanced digital connection, used for long runs, as opposed to S/PDIF (Coaxial) which is consumer level, Un-balanced digital, only suitable for very short runs.
AES/EBU looks the same as XLR but IT IS NOT. If you have the option of using AES/EBU over S/PDIF coax, you should use the AES/EBU, but NOT with normal XLR connections...
Goo luck!
