I had the opposite problem once...the digital output of my CD player (Audio Refinement) was RCA and the digital input of my outboard DAC (Assemblage 2.5) that I chose to use was BNC in. It came with a high quality handy-dandy adapter. Hey, if a high quality manufacturer like Sonic Frontiers didn't worry about the adapter's 'loss' than neither did I. Use the adapter and don't sweat it! But stay away from Toslink, where you have a choice. Happy Tunes!
Digital Dilemma
Hey all,
I've got a dilemma. I just purchased an MSB LinkDAC III here on the 'goN. My problem is this:
My CDP (which I'll be using as a transport) has four different digital outputs. There are - AES/EBU, Coax, Glass Fiber and Plastic Fiber.
The DAC only has RCA inputs.
What is the best way to connect my transport to the DAC?? Is there an adapter? Do I need to have the DAC modified? Should I have the CDP modified?
Why can't anything be simple??
Thanks in advance for your help.
