jernikfra Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Not sure where thsi question belongs...but here goes, A simple question about the various USB to optical adapters that are available.Are they outputting pure digital sound, in other words, just converting the plug type, or are they analog audio going through an a/d converter and becoming digital? any info would be great.I have an Onkyo UD-5 USB to optical converter...

If direct digital is enabled on the computer itself then what comes from the USB will be the same as SPDIF to Toslink Toslink is the Optical , SPDIF is when you see the gold colored RCA plug that is by itself on some equipment . They are both Digital So it is instead a Binary to Optical conversion , not analouge to Optical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
