Ugh. I'll advise against my interim solution of running the analog outs through the ratshack a2d--the ratshack has some kind of low level cut-off set for people with bad hearing and kind of "thumps" as it thinks it gets a signal. Totally audible and totally annoying during quiet passages. Hope the ART DIO works better.
Help CATV Digital Audio Out...
I just swapped my multichannel rig in favor of a dCS Purcell and Delius. While CD/DVD, XBox, and Audiotron are all working fine, my CATV box (SA 8000HD) is just giving me static. I switched the digital output format on the menu from "Dolby Digital" to "Other," but still get white noise. The odd bit is that if I swap boxes for an older SA 3250 I had upstairs, switching the digital to "Other," it works fine. While you might say "just leave the 3250 in," the problem is that the 3250 doesn't output digital for the low tier channels below 100, and with my new front end going directly into my amps, I've got *no* analog inputs. The other problem is that the 3250 lacks DVR functionality.
Any ideas? Anyone know of a cheap Dolby to PCM format converter?
