[QUOTE="Frank Koenig, post: 63507, member: 416"] Re: In search of simple home stereo type SPDIF I/O "preamp" True. Some caution is advised. However, many AES3 devices will lock up just fine on an S/PDIF signal, and there is no danger of blowing anything up since the S/PDIF voltage is lower and the AES input impedance is higher. Going the other way a simple matching and attenuating pad does the job, although there may be protocol problems with some pro devices feeding some consumer devices. (I ran into this with a Sound Devices MixPre d and a Tascam DR100mkII recorder.) When I first got the Rane box I fed its AES3 input directly from an S/PDIF out CD/DVD/BlueRay player and it worked fine. Since then I've built a proper S/PDIF to AES3 converter and distribution line-driver, since I "need" to pipe AES3 around the house :roll:. I can supply circuits for this stuff if anyone is interested. --Frank [/QUOTE]
