viconte 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 Hi Guys, I have an emu 0404 soundcard and wish to connect directly to my amp, which has a mini jack (no RCA jacks), using the optical out of the emu. Can i just use a toslink cable, a toslink-to-mini, to connect directly so i can utilise the optical out instead of the analog? Many thanks. I already connect the emu directly using the analog out to my amp, i wanna know whether it's optical to connect the optical out to my amp. Hope to hear yr views on this!

squalle 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 u cant optic is digital and ur amp cant convert digital to analog out of thin air get a DAC that can take optic input then that DAC, connect to ur amp no such thing as a DAC in a wire, like what you want, just a toslink to mini jack different nature even electrical digital out cant be just converted to or from optic signal and as far as I know, hornet is just an amp, no DAC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm unfaamilier with PC audio stuff, but that's what I got looking at the manufacturer's website. The image here http://images.americas.creative.com/images...04_hardware.pdf seems to suggest that all you need to to get/make a 1/4 inch headphone jack (da bigger one) to RCA adapter. LHS in Sim Lim should be able to make one for ya. Also posting in the correct forum will also help you as well as you will get more responses from people familier with the subject matter. And it will keep the Home Equipment forum for home equipment product Q&A. Edited January 18, 2006 by Rameish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
