Looking for a gadget

I am looking for something to connect a Toslink digital out to a coax (RCA plug)digital in so I can connect to a dac that only accepts an rca plug digital in. I really don't want to get an MSB Digital Director as this is an isolated case and only involves one connection. I know I saw something that did let you connect a toslink to a coax cable. Anyone know where I can find one of these things?

The Monarchy DIP will convert toslink to coax or "balanced" digital output. Also reclocks and reduces jitter. Does what you want AND improves the performance of your digital front end.

Hey-- Thanks Reubent;I was unaware the "Dip" performed this function.

If you are up to a little "tinkering" with a soldering iron, a couple of dollars of parts and an hour or two you can try a simple coversion which should give you what you want. Email me if you require further info, regards, Richard.

There are such devices that are available from pro audio dealers and I don't think they are expensive. However, a used AA DTI or Monarchy DIP would probably be a better choice since they will also reduce jitter. The boxes the pro audio dealers sell will probably not reduce jitter.
