Get yourself a Monarchy Audio DIP (believe it stands for "Digital Interface Processor", there have been a few versions, they aren't very expensive new or used). This small, well-made box will take your S/PDIF and convert it to AES/EBU, while also providing electrical isolation between the source and DAC (just in case the spurious noise is caused by something else), as well as performing jitter-reduction. (Place the DIP away from other, line-level components to the extent that you can, particularly phono preamps.)
RCA Out To AES/EBU In To DAC
Hello everyone,
My digital source has only RCA coaxial out and the DAC has only AES/EBU in. I attempted to use an XLR male to RCA female adapter, and although it works, a "sizzling" interference occurs continuously while the data is being transferred to the DAC. When the data stream is paused, the sizzling sound stops. Any suggestions on how I can solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Regards,
Dennis
