the ULN8 and LIO both set the AES bit flag to Consumer on output. This can cause trouble with limited devices that only accept the professional bit flag for input. the ULN8/LIO accepts any valid AES input regardless of of flag status.
The ULN2 and 2882 both mirror whatever bit-flags are sent to it. It is possible to have the professional bit flag over SPDIF with one of these devices. Anything on the input is mirrored directly to the output. (regardless of digital type, AES/SPDIF/TOS).
