OK. You want a D/A converter? You need analog audio? I'm not sure what format the playstation outputs. If it is raw audio, i.e. not decoding to stereo or something like that when you play a DVD, then you got only noise at the output. The easiest way is to get a Dolby Digital/DTS amplifier and try.

Hi,

I want to buy PS2 console, did you anyone notice the console have a digital output, is this the same digital output in DVD player, Thanks

I believe you are talking about the IEEE1394 port (aka Firewire aka iLink). Very different.

The PS2 has a user-configurable optical output. You can select plain old stereo PCM as an output. I have in the past recorded to minidisc using it.
