mafrosis Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hi forums. First post, please be gentle 😀  I have a DigiOne attached to a Rpi3, and a pair of lovely active monitors. The only problem is, the monitors have only an optical input, and the DigiOne has RCA/BNC SPDIF outputs.  https://www.allo.com/sparky/digione.html https://www.hifiplus.com/articles/avi-dm10-active-standmount-loudspeaker-and-subwoofer/  I'd love to hear a clever suggestion, neat gadget or other sensible plan for connecting these two together with minimum hassle.  Cheers all! mafro Link to comment
Abtr Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 You could try this: https://www.onlinekabelshop.nl/delock-coaxiaal-s-p-dif-naar-toslink-optisch-converter-usb-gevoed I used the unit myself and it's a very good sounding (low jitter) coax to Toslink converter.  You may also need something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32902981396.html if you want to feed it e.g. with a decent 5V LPS. Current audio system Link to comment
One and a half Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Have a look at the Mutec site for converters which can work both ways, as well as usb aes3 all in one package. AS Profile Equipment List    Say NO to MQA Link to comment

Not cheap, and from what I've measured, doesn't seem to help improve jitter when used with a number of decent modern DACs, but it does a competent conversion between SPDIF digital and optical, both ways.  -Paul DeltaWave, DISTORT, Earful, PKHarmonic, new: Multitone Analyzer Link to comment
