I'm wondering if there is any way to convert a digital audio coaxial cable to RCA L/R cables?

I can't seem to find anything for it. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Huh?

If it has RCA ends on it, you merely plug it in and it works.

I think he means from digital coaxial (a digital signal) to analog audio.

You would need a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Like this:

They make ones that go the other way, too.


I'd be interested to know why you would need one, though.

Something kind of close is the new Devil Sound DAC. USB to RCA L/R in one cable.

I thought about that, but figured I'd respond for once at face value rather than reading between the lines. ;)

My wife bought me a HTIB a couple years ago and we got a flat panel with only a Digital Out Audio jack. The HTIB didn't have a Digital Audio In, thus the need for a converter.

But since they cost about 70 bucks, I may try to convince her we should get a new receiver.

Thanks guys!
