[HeLP]where can i get a optical to coaxial coverter??

[gfgfmoses 0]

mostly as the title, thx~ i just need this to connect between the optical out from a cd player or transport to a dac. or maybe any one can recommend me a firm transport?

 

have a nice weekend all of u~~~

Strange...why do u wanna convert an optical output to digital coaxial output when you could simply use the coaxial output of transport to coaxial input of dac?

 

Keep it simple...optical out to optical in, coaxial out to coaxial in. If you wonder which connection sounds better, the coaxial usually gets the thumbs up.

the cd i would like to try the DAC on only got a optical output......while the DAC only has the coaxial input

 

anyway, any suggestion for the coaxial cable? less than S$200

for coaxial cable you can try LHS.. i asked robert to recomend and got one with belden cable with canare RCA plugs for abt $20 it sound a little much better then optical cable due to less jtters

A well proven in pro and audiophile/videophile candidate for a tightly spec coaxial cable is Belden 1694A. Do note that impedance mismatch causes more loss in digital and video signal than length of cable. Therefore, pro coaxial cables have tighter specs than consumer equivalent. Terminate it with crimped Canare plugs and U have yourself a very decent cable. I use this Belden and a Canare equivalent for all my video connection from dvdp to projector and tv. I also used the Belden for my former MF X-24K DAC. A meter of the 1694A terminated with Canare plugs should cost near $20 or thereabout.

thanks ha~~diy is alright for cables. if they got those WBT rca s?
