USB DAC Dumb


Hi,
I have a headphone amp with a DAC. The amp has a USB input.
I want to use the amp/DAC with  an older CD player.
Is this possible? Is there an adapter for this purpose?
Thanks,

D99, Your CD player probably has a SPDIF output.

Sending SPDIF Input to the DAC's USB input cannot be accomplished by a simple cable type of adapter/converter

You will need an electronic converter. 

USB - SPDIF converters are common, but I do not know of any SPDIF TO USB converters

Are you sure your amp does not have any other type of digital input? Such as optical

What amp do you have
