I have several <$100 AES-to-S/PDIF converters and all work fine but, so far, only up to 24/96.
AES to s/pdif converter
My BelCanto streamer does not play anything over 24/96 through the s/pdif cable. The company told me it would if I used the AES output, but my DAC will only take optical or s/pdif. I see there are AES to s/pdif converters out there for $30 to $700. [Aurender] Does anyone have experience in this matter?
