Sound cards spdif ? optical out ?
I need a little help...
Im looking for a sound card that has an output for an optical cable to plug into my stereo receiver. Problem is every card i see that claims to have "spdif" support doesnt seem to have an optical cable output. Maybe spdif means something else and im mistaken..Either way can you guys tell me of a card that would have an optical digital out.. im looking at newegg.com and tigerdirect.com and ebay.. im looking to get it for under 30$ I dont mind if its used ,or not a good name brand. ((oh coaxial digital is fine as well )) |

S/PDIF can be either coax or optical (toslink). S/PDIF is simply a consumer level digital interface. AES/EBU is the professional digital interface and is usually coax but I've seen it XLR and optical.
The Audigy2 ZS has optical connections or you could get a converter like this one from CO2. Dave.
