Splitting AES/EBU Signal

[KCCT82]

flshzug- if I do have more analog outputs, are you suggesting I can do all the x-over with a program in my computer? and perhaps all the necessary EQ? thanks

 

[flshzug]

you can do even room correction a'la deqx

buy a second lynx two if you dont want to mess with DAC stuff and IK ARC prog , you get measurement microphone & stuff. There are 64bit EQ progs for free. You set up everything in an ASIO host prog and route the audio thru.

OK, what I was saying is that splitting an AES/EBU (or S/PDIF, for that matter) should not be done with a simple Y-split, as it is asking for trouble or at least degraded sound.
Someone experienced in DIY could whip something up from a few logic gates (the AND gates) and a wall-wart supply.
But if you don't have the experience, by far the easiest (and cheapest!) would be to buy an AES/EBU splitter like the one referred to above. Make sure the specs say that the inputs and outputs are terminated with 110 ohms.
Alternatively, look up the Behringer ULTRAMATCH PRO SRC2496, which can do all that and much more for 160 $.

I've had a look at the src2496 manual and it has 3 different types of output, but only one of each kind, so you can't get 2 similar outputs. Does this matter if you want one output for the left channel and the other for the right channel - bits is bits?
