Face, When you say a 'Sound Card' is that something I can connect to my computer through a usb output that then has the appropriate digital connections for the 840?

Yes, check out http://www.newegg.com, they have a decent selection of USB sound cards. I've have good results with Creative and ASUS products. |
WOW, am I glad I spotted this thread. I am experimenting with Airport Express, to optical / CA840c and by balanced to my stereo. All files are Apple Lossless some recorded w/error correction ON. The 840c says the bitstream is 18bit, 44.1khz.....is That correct? Problem is that every once in a while the stereo emits a very Glassy, edgy, fingers on chalkboard sound. It doesn't repeat if I 'rewind' and play that section of the song a 2nd time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Apple is clueless, so far, and I have yet to hear back from Cambridge. |
If you could give me even a HINT of theory as to how the TOSLINK could do this, I'll run out and get another! I first thought it was 'too loud'. turning down didn't help I though it could be poor digital copy. Error correction didn't help @confuser I thought it could be bitrate, so I turned the computer buffer to Large. Trying MP3 @160kb made it WORSE. Still trying to make sense of this. ANY more help? / Suggestions? I doubt Cambridge can help and nobody at Apple has a clue, apparently. |
