Bbag20,
I am old, that’s your coot. In my career in audio I had the reputation of being a bit of a stickler for facts and unsympathetic to bs. That’s your crusty!

Hi @designsfx I used the MC3+ as a switcher between SPDIF coax and AES digital. It was great not having to change cables behind my rack. I stopped using it because it changed the sonic signature of my Audio Note dac. I'm selling it. |
Instead of using Optical, I can output AES/EBU from my transport. The streamer will use SPDIF coax. Has anybody tried or can offer advice about this digital converter? I'll be using 2 in/1 out (to dac)... https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/395533-REG/Hosa_Technology_CDL_313_CDL_313_Data_Link.html#mo |
I had posted this same question last year and got a few suggestions for adapters that are available for sale. I didn’t try any of the splitter/adapters as further investigation into other forums gave mixed opinions when it comes to the use of passive devices. Sonifex (UK) makes an active device for SPDIF distribution but I chose to steer away from it as it has all RCA connections and I wasn’t impressed with the asking price (around $500 USD). This weekend I ordered a AES/SPDIF distribution amplifier from Matrix Switch Corp. It is a single input four output device and all connections are 75 ohm BNC. The device normalizes all outputs to 1 Vpp. Although 1 Vpp is higher than the standard 0.5V input consumer electronics use I’m going to try it anyway. A friend who designs audio electronics believes it should work fine- we’ll test it once it arrives. If you’re interested in more information you can find it here.
