Hi. And thanks for reading this post.
My dac's usb input has stopped working but the optical and coaxial are still fine.
Looking inside there is a small circuit board on the back of the usb input which has a burn mark on it. Seems as though this has gone bad, so am wondering if i should buy an external usb to spdif converter and come in through the coaxial input instead.
Am wondering, within a dac, does the usb signal get converted to spdif, then fed to the coaxial input,
in other words the dac does not use the usb signal directly
but converts it into spdif, then uses that.
Hope that makes sense.
Many thanks in advance. John.
