SPDIF to AES


I tried connecting a CD player to an SC48 using the digital out of the CD player (Spdif) into the digital in (AES) of the SC48. I hit pay and it sounded great. Until it changed tracks. At that point it sent a rather loud glitch thru the system. Is this caused by the other data (copy protection etc?) that is on a SPDIF output? I made my own wire – RCA – pins 2-hot and 1 shield on the XLR.


Do the adapters with the transformer built in block the other stuff or does the Hosa CDL 313 strip off that data?


I plan to look today to see if there is a setting on the CD player that allows me to turn the extraneous data off.
