    Analog to Digital Optical Toslink Audio RCA Converter/Adapter, With power adapter The ARTSOUND new * Analog to Digital Audio Adapter/Converter * converts analog Left/Right RCA-style audio connections to digital S/PDIF coax or TOSLink outputs.The unit is compact, easy to install, and operates in a wide variety of operating conditions. How it works: Simply plug in your analog audio source into the RCA jacks, then connect your digital receiving device ... So you’ve got your entire audio system running Digital (Coax or Toslink) audio, but you’ve got one old piece of equipment with analog output that is gumming up the works? No problem! Just get the Analog to Digital Audio Converter and bring your old equipment into the digital age! This compact little converter has a set of right/left RCA analog audio input jacks. It will simultaneously convert the analog audio into Coax and Optical (Toslink) Digital signals. You can connect either or both outputs to an appropriate digital audio input on a TV, AV receiver, or anything else. The converter has a digital sampling rate of 48 kHz and produces an LPCM stereo audio output signal. It is powered by a 5V DC power adapter, which is included. All the connectors are gold-plated. Note that this converter only works one way – Analog to Digital. It will NOT convert digital signals to analog!The Audioengine D3 Premium 24-bit DAC (digital-toanalog converter) allows you to bypass your computer's headphone output and send music directly through a USB port for noticeably improved fidelity and a higher output. Portable USB audio converter for Mac or PC Stream bit-perfect native 24/96 HD audio High-performance headphone amp included Plug-and-play, no drivers or software to install Connect headphones or any music system Easily drives low impedance headphones Computer OS volume control Asynchronous data transfer with dual master clocks HD indicator for sample rates above 48K Metal injection molded (MIM) aluminum caseThe DacMagic Plus has fantastic new features including wireless device connectivity and stunning audio performance from music of all formats.
