S/PDIF has a parity bit, and the control messages use a CRC, but otherwise there is no error correction. I'm not really sure how "lossless" it is, but it's a pretty neat trick regardless.


'Lossless' as used in the article refers to the audio compression scheme, not the integrity of the data link.
