Multiple S/PDIF outputs

jman11964 · 10th February 2011, 01:20 PM

Disregarding the old Audigy links - are there any soundcards that have multiple independant S/PDIF outputs?

Is it necessary to convert from AES3 from a Lynx AES (and I think there's an RME that's similar)?

Thanks

I have been searching these days for the sound card with only digital outs. I am acctually quite fine with AES/EBU.

RME allows you to switch through the software commercial or professional out (S/PDIF or AES/EBU), at least it does on my curent RME interface Fireface 800. Software is the same - Total Mix for all, so I am pretty sure that you will have that choice with this card

RME: HDSPe AES

or

RME: Hammerfall DSP AES-32

One is PCIepress and other one is PCI based. Changing on your own from AES 110 ohm balaced to S/PDIF 75 ohm unbalanced is also very easy.
