PCIe uses differential signaling which should approximate AC so the electrons do not have a net movement down the wire at all, they more or less just wiggle back and forth. In reality there is likely some DC bias resulting net migration but

That is still extremely high depending on where you are coming from. The US also uses a marginal tax system and the highest bracket is 39.6% and starts at ~$425k (varies based on how you are filing). ~$38-90k bracket is 25%.

Comparing CPU usage % across machines (or even runs on the same machine) without know the p-state doesn't make for a good comparison. This is especially true if you're on a fairly new processor with wide frequency operation range,

With a gp2 SSD EBS volume you get 3k iops baseline per 1TB of storage up to a max of 10k iops (~3.3TB volume), there is also some burst allowance over that. In my experience so far the baseline numbers have been pretty accurate. This is a r

Depends on the device. Often there is a receiver IC that will perform clock recovery and convert from S/PDIF to an internal digital audio format, I2S most commonly, to send it to a DAC IC. In this simple setup there generally is no mor

You still need timing logic, you have to extract the clock signal from the SPDIF signal as well.

The port isn't the important bit that is added, it's the supporting circuitry and photo diode to drive it that adds complexity to the design.
