Synfreak Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi! The German High-End specialist Norbert Lindemann has announced a USB to S/PDIF interface which will work up to 96/24: http://www.lindemann-audio.de/en/products/accessories/ It will cost about 250 Euros (here in Germany) and doesn`t need an external power supply. Seems that more and more companies try to catch up on the ongrowing "computer" audio market.

Synfreak Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hi! There is a picture of the PCB in a current German Hifi-magazine (STEREO 10/2009). And it looks - to me - as it uses the TI TAS 1020(b) chip. (48 pin). It is (now) capable of samplerates up to 96/24, which would take it in the direct competition to the Bel Canto USB link, but - at least here in germany - for a more sensual price. In the magazine they stated that it uses opto-coupling to separate the USB receiver side from the S/PDIF output. But it does use the 5 volt power supplied over the USB bus, so ... additional room for hardcore DIYers for some pimping included ;-) Cheers Harald Esoterc SA-60 / Foobar2000 -> Mytek Stereo 192 DSD / Audio-GD NFB 28.38 -> MEG RL922K / AKG K500 / AKG K1000 / Audioquest Nighthawk / OPPO PM-2 / Sennheiser HD800 / Sennheiser Surrounder / Sony MA900 / STAX SR-303+SRM-323II Link to comment
