Changing USB input on DAC to Coax SPDIF?
Does anyone know if this can be done? My DAC (Rega Isis) has only a USB input that is designed to work with a computer. The computer needs a driver to work together, I assume this limits the input to computers only? Or will other devises work with this connection? Can this input be changed to a COAX input easily? are there simple adapters that will do this?
Windows PCs will often require a special USB driver to worth with asynchronous audio inputs on DACs. Most audio streamers and Mac computers will not require a driver. Even though your DAC indicates that the USB input is designed to connect to a PC or laptop, I would expect that it will work with any streamer that features USB audio output. |
@musichead - For some reason, MSFT has chosen not to include this driver as a standard part of Windows. Not sure why. Most streamers are based on Linux and already include the required driver. |
