Optical or coax out -> USB DAC

Posted by: LeeTom on 25 December 2014

Hello,

I have a USB-only DAC and I would like to plug in a device that has optical and coax digital outputs. Is there a device that can do this conversion? I can easily setup a Mac Mini to route the optical input to the USB DAC, but thought it would be nice if there was an inexpensive little box.

Thanks!

Hi LeeTom, inexpensive look at amazon, there are both of them. No experience with them.

Regards. Erich.

Sorry, but everything on Amazon requires you to plug into a computer (USB host controller) and would not work in this setup.

Neither of those will take an optical audio signal and let it play into a USB-only DAC. I appreciate the time but I'm hoping someone has real world experience with this.
