| 461338 | 2006-06-07 05:55:00 | Hey people I'm going to be buying a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card which has coaxial S/PDIF in, and I have a device with optical S/PDIF out that I want to feed into the sound card. I need a converter thingy, like this: forum.ecoustics.com I searched the dse.co.nz site but couldn't find anything. Any ideas where I can get something like this in new zealand, or would it be easier to upgrade to a Audigy 2 ZS Platinum which has optical S/PDIF in? Cheers |

| 461341 | 2006-06-07 09:04:00 | The device I'm connecting is a cheap free-to-air satellite reciever. It has analog stereo RCA outputs and optical S/PDIF out as well. I want the highest quality sound - would the S/PDIF be much much better? My line of thought is that the Digital-to-Analog converter in the sound card would be higher quality than the DAC in the satellite reciever, especially considering the sound card I'm getting is $100 more than the satellite reciever. What do you think? |
