Description

S/PDIF is a type of digital audio interconnect used in consumer audio equipment to output audio over relatively short distances. The signal is transmitted over either a coaxial cable with RCA connectors or a fiber optic cable with TOSLINK connectors.

A S/PDIF Coaxial to Optical Converter

Well, this is my first post on this forum, and it's about converting a coaxial S/PDIF signal to an optical signal. I am getting a PowerMac G5 (which has an S/PDIF optical in) and i have an Apogee Mini-me (which has coaxial S/PDIF, XLR AES/EBU, and usb outputs). I do not want to be limited to 24-bit 48khz from the Mini-me's usb output.

2 input preamps with S/PDIF

hello all,

i have an aardvark q10 and i really like it but i would like to capitalize on its ability to have two more inputs through S/PDIF. and so I'm looking for preamps that have S/PDIF output.

it would be nice if the preamps would be a little step up from the pres in the aardvark or at least might provide a different 'flavor' or 'color' than the aardvark's.

S/Pdif Help?

Yeah so I got me a Mackie mixer that is straight analog. I also got me one of them nifty M-Audio cards to record my stero outs onto the computer. Seems pretty good but I need more quality. I was looking on my M-Audio card and noticed a S/PDIF Out and In line. Looked up S/PDIF and found out it holds digital sounds. So I have the technology of going from analog to digital so I assume.

PreAmp w/ Digital Out into S/PDIF soundcard?

I was thinking of buying a dbx 386 ttp://www.zzounds.com/ite…

and running S/PDIF out of it into 'Brand X' soundcard's S/PDIF input (for simple guitar/voice recordings - I am the ONLY client - lol)

Or should I buy a FMR Audio or M-Audio PreAmp and run the signal analog to 'Brand X' soundcard's XLR or 1/4' inputs.
