AT&T ST to Toslink connectors ...
I just bought a Wadia 9 DAC, it has the AT&T ST type
of connectors for digital inputs, and it only has these
types of inputs . Being the idiot that I am, I didn't
check to make sure that my transport has the same type
of connector for digital output. Well, the transport
(Sony SCD-1) has the toslink digital output.
Here are my questions:
1 - Would it be possible for me to get an optical cable
that has the toslink connector on one end and the AT&T ST
connector on the other end ? Where could I go to get such
a cable or have it custom-made ? For this purpose, do I
need single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic cable ?
2 - Would the optical signal format be compatible between
these two ? Assuming I could find such a cable, would the
transceiver on the DAC be able to decode the signal sent
out by the transceiver on the transport ?
3 - What other options do I have, assuming the cable with
the two different types of connectors doesn't work ?
I would appreciate very much any help you can give me.
It is kind of painful to pay bucks for something that
you can't use ... |^(
