I suspect they do but was not able to verify via manual or website.


I want it this way to do my system calibration/measurements., ie pumping some test signal out to my pre/pro via toslink and capturing my external ADC's digital signal through Toslink in....all simultaneously (the full duplex part).

Well the X-Meridian card accepts SPDIF and transmits it...if this is what you want to know.

The card will encode 5.1 to spdif but will not accept a ecoded signal on the spdif inputs. only spdif. Seems fine aslong as it;a two channel digital signal...i.e Not encoded.

I guess the question is this: can it do the spdif in at the same time it is doing the spdif out?


I mean, I figured the ports are functional when using one at a time but can they be used simultaneously, ie capturing through input while playing through output?

Yes it will, you can even use monitoring on the S/PDIF input.

Thanks guys. Since I'm just using the digital portion is it a no brainer to go with the B-Enspire since it costs less? I would certainly pay more for higher quality drivers if there is a difference.

I bought the X-Meridian for the digital connection and yet now I ended up with analogue because it sounds so good especially with new OPAMPs.

Cool! I just ordered the X-Meridian from Newegg. We'll see how that puppy works. Thanks again.

oh, it works very, very good.....your gonna love it. Remember to check out the card in analog mode before you connect up the digital. You also get a nice optical cable with it.
