Hi all,
I am after a usb to optical(or coaxial) adaptor so i can connect my laptop to a beresford tc-7510 . Brian (Labarum) had suggested one in the past but i accidently erased the message in my in box. i would like to try using the pc as a source for the audio.
i have only come across this adapter on e bay and i am unsure if it is suitable for what i need...

Well, the only other one I've seen on Ebay is http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PC-MAC-PDA-Noteb-adapters-USB-to-SPDIF-COAX-Converter_W0QQitemZ110360892154QQcmdZViewItemQQptZ LH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item110360892154&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177

Interestingly this device uses the same USB chip, a BB PCM2902E, as in Stan's new TC-7520.

Otherwise, the Trends Audio UD-10.1 lite may be available in your part of the world, or the M-audio USB transit.

Ah thanks Chris i ll wait and see what other suggestions arrive. Perhaps someone who has upgraded to the 7520 and doesn't need their adapter any more may consider selling onto me???
