Optical Digital Adapter.
Hi All,
Just seen John's post on USB to spdif converter and am prompted to ask the following: -
I understand that, in terms of digital system signal quality, toslink is best, next come co-ax, then phono. If this is the case I have 2 sources with optical digital out, both of which, ideally, I would like to feed my Standac 7520 but it only has one optical input.
I have purchased a very cheap adapter off eBay which is said to permit 2 sorces into 1 input or 1 source into 2 inputs. It appears to transmit one source through to the input but will not transmit 2. It acts as though connecting the second source blocks out the first and vice versa.
Question: - does anyone know of such an adapter that will fully transmit 2 sources into 1 input (not at the same time !!) or would it be a better compromise to use 1 co-ax source and 1 optical source, rather than 2 optical sources.
All opinions welcome.
Cheers,
DaveK.
My System:
Power: Belkin PF40, Custom.hifi.cables Hydra and DC PSUs.
Sources: Self built HTPC with Xonar ST sound card, NAD T585 multi disc player, Sony BDP-S350, Squeezebox Touch, Techncs SL1210 (mod'd) + Nagaoka MP30, Thomson Sky HD box.
Amps etc.: 2 x Mini-T amps, MF-X10D Valve buffer clone, StanDAC 7520/Caiman (mod'd).

Cables: best I can afford and likely to change except Homar's RF attenuated co-ax's and Mark Grant USB and HDMI cables. I also like silver i/cs and speaker cable.
