In order to take my laptop, and UMIK-1, and miniDSP to my audio buddy's house, to take measurements, and demonstrate room correction, I needed to convert USB from the laptop to coax or optical in order to get the log sweep into his now ancient DAC1 via coax or optical.
So, looked around a little, decided on this for $24:
It's USB powered, limited to 48kbs but it works for audible measurement purposes, taking the USB audio data and outputting it via coax or optical .
I haven't tried the analog headphone output nor the RCA jacks yet.
Seems to be a single chip solution inside, TI -PCM2704.
Here are the guts of it:
And a real review...
Did I mention it comes with a USB cable?
Heat Output: It's two tenths of a degree (F) warmer than the surface it sits on after 24 hours.
