Digital audio adapter for analog phones

I would like to use the Toslink output and use a digital-to-analog headphone amp for my studio-quality headphones. I can find a digital to analog converter for quite a large sum of money - for me - at around $500.
1. Does anybody have any ideas for a digital to analog converter that won't break the bank?
2. Would I be better using USB as opposed to the Toslink/S=PDIF headphone output?
3. If USB is the better way to go, does anybody have any recommendations for a brand?
Thank you

Hi cube60
I'll let you have my old Pioneer Stereo Receiver for a $100, it supports Digital (Toslink) input and you can plug your headphones into it.
Not really, but be aware that you may already have or can find a real nice used receiver that supports digital input for way less than that amp. your looking at.

Apple digital AV adapter for the ipad 2 or a Apple TV

What should I get a Apple digital AV adapter for the ipad 2 or a Apple TV?
Wanna use it for showing photo and movies:)
thx

Assuming that you already have the iPad 2, you're looking at a $99 purchase versus as $39 purchase. Why to spend over twice as much on the AppleTV?
Another thing it would depend on is how often you plan to use the connection. If it's going to be an everyday constant thing where you're likely to find yourself wanting the surf but the iPad is connected to the TV (so you have to disconnect then re-connect each time), then maybe that will be enough of a hassle to get the AppleTV. If you only want to use it every now and again (like after renting a video from iTunes, or to share content when people come over), then you may just get the Digital AV adapter and be fine.
Actually, I just thought of a third option. You want the connection to be more convenient, but would still rather not have the AppleTV sitting there unused most of the time, you could add the iPad 2 dock for $29 which would be $69 dollars and you're still under the $99 of the AppleTV.
Oh, and one MORE thing to think about If you've got a computer connected to your network (that's connected to your media library) you may find that having the AppleTV is an easy way to get all that content to your TV, so it would be an additional benefit to the whole situation above and beyond just the iPad.
For me, I purchased the AppleTV, I have one stationary computer (a Mini) that serves all my music and videos that are in my iTunes library, plus an iPad which I can use as a remote control to control the AppleTV, or I can use AirPlay to push video/audio to the TV from any connected device. I like being able to freely switch between modes at any time without disconnecting and reconnecting cables and this setup allows that (also allows making my TV's sound system a broadcast station for all my music!)

Audio adapter for N82 ?

Hi,
I am looking for an audio adapter for N82 AD - 46 has many N series phones listed but doesn't include N82. Does anyone knows which adapter works with N82 ?
Thanks
Joseph
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What exactly are you trying to do?
That audio adaptor is for older models with pop-ports that allows you to connect standard 3.5mm headphones.
The N82 can accept any standard 3.5mm headphones without any form of adaptor because it already has a 3.5mm port.

E-MU 0404 PCIe Digital Audio System for Windows server

E-MU 0404 PCIe Digital Audio System for Windows server
Is it possible use E-MU 0404 PCIe under Windows Server 2008 or 2012?

For windows Server 2008 and Server 2012 you may need enable Desktop Experience Feature
The Desktop Experience Feature enables a bunch of stuff that is by default present on a desktop OS. Most importantly it includes Themes, Windows Media player and the Aero related features. You will have to enable it form the Server Manager. The "Turn Windows features on or off" / "Add remove windows components" has all been rolled into the Server Manager now.
Server Manager > Features > Desktop Experience
Installing the Desktop Experience feature does not enable them. You have to manually set them up.
After that Windows Server 2008 == Vista x64
Windows Server 2008 R2 == Windows 7 x64
Windows Server 2012 == Window 8 x64
So just use the appropriate desktop drivers - that are available

HT4108 I bought 2 Apple Digital AV Adapters "HDMI" (30 pin Digital TV Adapter "for IPad 2" - Lightning Digital AV Adapter "for IPad mini") three days ago.

Apple Crew ,
I bought 2 Apple Digital AV Adapters “HDMI” (30 pin Digital TV Adapter "for IPad 2" - Lightning Digital AV Adapter "for IPad mini") three days ago.
I’ve used my iPad 2 to connect with Samsung Smart TV via 30 pin Digital AV Adapter “HDMI”,
The iPad 2 instantly connect to the television, but the problem is that the TV displayed screen (mirror) isn't full screen. I tried with every setting on my iPad and also on the television but still no luck and the screen still appear in small size.
I’ve used my iPad mini to connect with Samsung Smart TV via Lightning Digital AV Adapter “HDMI”,
but also the same problem
I tried connecting with other televisions but the same result
It only works with iPhone with Full Screen!!!!!
I need to solve this issue as I paid almost 95 $ and for the first time I didn’t get the service I need from apple!! (Which I didn’t expect)

Digital Audio output for W series - Alternatives

There's a thread talking about the displayport does not have audio-output. Its true and some people get victimized by ill-trained sales people who think their displayport is standard. There's no literature on Lenovo website warning users about the audio issue either - such thread is closed with the fact that (some) other manufacturers in the same period does have have audio either and Lenovo think they should be in the same boat.
Let's not go into the blamish again, but discuss what we can do with existing options with alternative digital audio out and line-in that the W series really really missed.
We have (1) mini-dock and (2) USB soundcard listed as options
I currently use a USB DAC (digital to analog) system and it do really good in terms of stereo music enjoyment. However my particular system does not have digital manupilated sound like 3-D surround or multi-channel output and not suprisely, laptop USB generally produce greater latency than desktop USB ports.
Besides USB, we have 1394 and express card 34 as expansion options.
What's your setup for digital audio out? Anyone know any internal soundcard that fits the slots of Wireless USB/Turbo memory PCI ports that all W-series have?

Other alternatives include
I know on mackbooks I've seen firewire used as an input for a Weiss Dac if you're into two channel audio. Do any reiceivers take firewire as an input for hometheater? Has anyone tested Firewire outputs on their W series? I'm told that firewire is sometimes preferable to USB, I'm not sure why this would be, can USB support passthrough of DTS encoded signals?
In the case that firewire works and you Do not have a firewire source, maybe something like this would be of value It converts firewire to digital coaxial s/pdif and allows passthrough of DTS and AC3.
http://www.m-audio.com/images/global/manuals/FireWire-Audiophile_Manual.pdf
As I'm into audio the critical thing here (and what you're paying for when you purchase blue-ray, is maintaining the digital information from the disk in an unconverted form. You want a direct bit pass through, and you want as little jitter introduced to the signal as possible. You most certainly don't want the sound card getting in the way, Digtital to Analog converting and then reverse packaging it up and putting it out over the soundcard digital out. My problem is I'm not familiar enough with computer audio to know how exactly the sounds is transmitted from your blue ray drive to the digital interface you've chosen.
Anyone know why USB digital out would not be a prefered method?

Optical digital audio output for mac book?

Hello, I am wondering if MacBook pro Retina version has the Optical digital audio output or thunderbolt adapter? so i can use optical cable to do output for my music.

Hi alece,
Just to clarify something;
When using an optical cable there are several standards of audio that can pass through the cable:
S/PDIF - a stereo signal - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spdif
AC3 or Dolby Digital - up to 5.1 surround - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ac3
Dolby Digital Plus - up to 7.1 surround - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DolbyDigitalPlus
ADAT Optical - up to 8 channels of audio - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADAT_Lightpipe
MADI - up to 64 channels of audio - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MADI
I´m sure other people can add more to the list if they want to, my point is that these signals can pass through the exact same kind of optical cable.
The important bit to know is what does your equipment and software support... in theory your question is quite logical, a software can play 5.1 surround to a optical output like Apple DVD Player does with the built-in sound card of a modern mac. However, Logic does not support live encoding of AC3. That is why you have to output the surround mix in Logic to a sound card with at least 6 channels (5+1 as in 5.1) connected to your speaker system. Typically this would be 5 active studio monitors plus a sub. If you were thinking to use an existing stereo I would not recommend it since most consumer speakers have no limiters to protect them from damage (but may be possible depending on your amplifiers inputs)
I hope this answered your question

Apple digital av adapter for ipad 2

Can i mirror my ipad 2 using apple digital av adapter ???
Can i use an app while the ipad simultaneously streams the video through adapter ???
Can my ipod touch 3rd gen be mirrored ???
I have 40 inch sony lcd screen , will the output be of same quality as we see on ipad ???

Sharya wrote:

Yes.
Sharya wrote:

No, only audio streaming is possible with apps that support audio playback of video content in background (e.g., the stock YouTube client). As soon as you tap the Home button, display mirroring kicks in. (On the iPad 1, where there's no mirroring, the stream pauses.)

Nope.

Yes (assuming you have a quality HDMI cable), and with videos over XGA resolution (the iPad 2 only has an XGA-resolution screen), even better.

Using built in optical digital audio output for 5.1

So, lets say i want to mix something in 5.1 using logic or soundtrack pro, can i use the optical digital audio output of my macbook to send the signal to a home theather or something to mix it?, or i need a special hardware card for this?
Thanks a lot!!

Best digital audio interface for Garageband on Macbook Air?

Hi everyone, fairly new to all this stuff. I'd love to record some songs in garageband using my electic and acoustic guitars, and a microphone for vocals. I soon learnt for this I'd require a digital audio interface so I began my research.
I'm on a Macbook air so I saw I'd need one that runs from USB... and after a bit more searching I found Apogee seem to be a recommendable company.
Can anyone point me in the direction of one of their products (or any companies' product) that will do the job of recording my guitar (from a standard jack cable) and my vocals (from a standard band-style microphone) that will 100% work with Garageband on my Macbook Air via USB? I'm on a budget of as cheap-as- possible, but I'd like a fair amount of quality in the product, so any price you can reccomend will be considered.
Any help is greatley appreciated, apologies if this is not the relevant section or even site to ask this question.

You can have the best or you can have cheap but not both. Good interfaces start around $80 and great ones can be several thousands.
I bought several items from sweetwater lately and really like them. So here is a link to usb interfaces. Any of the other big music supply store will have equal deals.

Digital AV adapter for iphone 4s doesnt show video only audio now since os upgrade

digital av cable no longer works on 1 phone 4s, the os was upgraded to 6.01, i do get audio but no video.

The current iOS is obviously seeing your Car as a TV. I would contact the manufacturer and see if your vehicle needs any update, or if they recommend changing any certain settings to be compatible with your vehicle so the iPhone is not seeing it as a TV. Each vehicle is 100% different so the manufacturer would be the best one to solve this issue for you. Alternately, if you have an aux input, buy a 3.5mm audio cable and plug your iPhone to the car using the headphones jack. This will obviously limit the connection to only audio.

Headset Adapter for nokia phones

Is there anything(any adapter) from nokia like ths one?
Headset adapter
I need one for my wicked jawbreakers headset with mic to work with my C6-01 in India
Thanks and Regards
Anup

Hi AnupTheRaskal,
Thanks for your question.
What this adaptor does is converting the headset pinout on the plug from UHJ to/from AHJ version. UHJ is what is uses with most Nokia Sx0 and Symbian device, AHJ is used with Nokia N9, Lumia family phones and most Android compatible headsets.
This converter will allow you to use an iPhone compatible headset with a UHJ output for stereo audio only as as those use an Apple propriety system for microphone and buttons.
Hope this helps,
Kosh
