Ultralite mk3 PCM Linear or Non-linear?

Anyone know if the Ultralite mk3 digital S/PDIF is linear or non-linear PCM? Can't find this info anywhere!

Most (if not all) professional audio gear will use linear PCM A/D and D/A converters. This is true of the UltraLite mk3 and all other MOTU audio interfaces.
The leading cause of wrong answers is asking the wrong questions.

Thanks for the reply. Still can't output from my Ultralite S/PDIF to a Pioneer DJM-800 mixer. I've set the Ultralite to 48kHz and 96kHz. The mixer S/PDIF accepts 44.1kHz, 48kHz and 96kHz. I've set the channel switch to digital.

The mixer accepts the digital output from my onboard soundcard ok. From the MOTU nothing. I can see the levels on the Ultralite digital output. However there is no signal on the mixer levels.
