XM, DAC Question

The RCAs on your XM receiver are ANALOG outputs. You would have to have a DIGITAL output to send to the DAC.

Mofimadness, Manual for the XM receiver says it is digital, am I missing something? I have before so wouldn't be unusual.

The manual says "what" is digital? The receiver is because XM is a digital service just like DISH or Direct TV. You need the receiver to use the service, but that doesn't mean the XM unit "outputs" a digital signal.

What's the model number of the XM receiver maybe I can find a manual online to look at for you.

The Lite DAC uses a "coax" digital input, but the connection is still RCA. Don't think of "coax" as in TV coax, (RF connector). Most digital gear uses either a RCA coax input or a BNC coax input and many also use Toslink optical.

It's a Delphi SKYFi2 Satellite Radio Receiver. It does say the stations are digital but maybe the receiver changes it to analog. The manual says that 130 "Digital" channels are available.

I just pulled out an old DBX111 that I used to use with my reel to reel. Hmmm, even if this is an analog signal. Might be interesting.
