How to provide a digital coax output on CD player?

[gjo]

Folks

I have two players one is a Pioneer DVD player( with coax and optical output jacks) and another is an older Onkyo CD-Model DX CD 540 changer, with only digital optical output, no coax. With a new DAC in the works( from Peter Daniel), I wonder if there is any way that I can wire up an additional coax output jack on the Onkyo player?

At this time I plan to use only an optical output on the DAC. I understand that coax is a better solution, though..

Any input welcome.

Thanks

George

I can not give you help in building one,but there are optical to coaxial converters for sale.Anyway DIY is propably cheaper.

Enough schematics can be found here. Most circuits use (small) transformers...

If you now have a good DAC, why not insert a Tentlabs XO3 clock into the Onkyo, that way you improve the sound of the Onkyo considerably as a transport and gain a very good digital coax output at the same time, (two birds with one stone). problem fixed.

I don't know why everyone keeps using that site as a reference. For background, yeah.......for circuits, no.

George has a better idea.

You will find most interesting info here...
and the formula for calculating impedance / trafo...
