horatio2 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Might not be the right forum for this. I am looking to run pure digital via a USB connection to SPDIF or Toslink at my minidsp. I would like to know if any here can advise on what the better interface devices are. Lowest jitter that sort of thing. Thanks- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 100' hooked up from the wifes Pc, through the wall, up over through the attic, down the wall to her Preamp in the lioving room, never had a problem.

Thaddeus Smith Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 SPDIF is better than optical toslink. get an x1 or t1, depending on your bit depth/sampling rate needs. http://www.peachtreeaudio.com/all-products/accessories.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) TOS is terrible to be honest... perhaps it's better than a few interconnects, but IT'S NOT the preferred method. Jitter is my personal main issue with it, as well as it's inconsistency in connectivity and handshake issues. I would rather, and do, use Digital Coax.

derrickdj1 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I run my digital media off a WD mini hard drive 3 TB, that is connected by USB to the BDP. It is also wireless seems to be pretty good with jitter and handshake. I don't have any CD's in the house and only a handful of old CD's in the car. I use a USB flashdrive 64 GB's in the car.

horatio2 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 What's a BDP? I am likely go g spdif and want to get a protocol converter that will be up to the task of 96 kHz with minimal jitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 The wifes system has been running just fine for the better part of two years, she is good with jitter and handshake and tells me that all the time, but then again i better stay on subject, nothing better than a glass fiber impervious to outside interfearence.
