Do you know of one that measures well? I tend to distrust those "cheap adapters". I'm not aware of one of those measured here for less than the cost of the D10 Balanced.And why would you use the D10 for this and not a cheap usb adapter?

not to mention what kind of pc doesnt have a usb output or at least an internal header. even an arduino you would program in rx/tx pins I guessAnd why would you use the D10 for this and not a cheap usb adapter?
do you know one that measures bad? its all digital. hard to mess this up.Do you know of one that measures well?
There are some measured here that seem to have a comparable level of performance, but they are not cheaper than the D10 Balanced, in fact most are more expensive. This is why I asked you for something "really cheap". To me, 140 for a good USB to Coax/Toslink it's ok, and you get a balanced DAC for free.do you know one that measures bad? its all digital. hard to mess this up.
There really wasn't anything readily available and cheaper than D10s.And why would you use the D10 for this and not a cheap usb adapter?
I don't know of any motherboard that has SPDIF coaxial output. This would have been obviously my first choice.not to mention what kind of pc doesnt have a usb output or at least an internal header. even an arduino you would program in rx/tx pins I guess
although it's not recommended. You were referring to this kind of price? Around 100?
Also lots of Asus or Creative products out there doing this.There really wasn't anything readily available and cheaper than D10s.

These have optical output, not coaxial.AMD Sockel AM4 - ComputerBase

It's the same protocol. but you also find mainboards with coaxial spdifThese have optical output, not coaxial.
That would be a really nice device indeed.I would instantly buy the D10B if it would have coax or toslink inputs.
I was using RCA output also so I got my money's worth.90% of engineering development and component cost is in the analog part of the DAC and your not using it at all.
oh yeah there are 0 with coaxial outputs, i would have to be some kinda f daughter board. What I mean was the usb, thats for power and data on this unit isnt it?There really wasn't anything readily available and cheaper than D10s.

If I had seen your post sooner I would have suggested using something like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/328....store_pc_groupList.8148356.29.11dd6df1TqKFL0Is it possible to use a "normal" xlr to rca cable since my sub has only rca inputs?
The 10B would be a tad over 6 dB higher than the X6, detectable but, not dramatically so. What are you connecting the DAC output to?Finally got the cables in today to connect my recently acquiered D10b but i can notice some things that i dont know if they are issues or not.
First of all even tho it should be twice the voltage output than my SE dac (fx audio dac x6) I didnt really get any more volume as the other dac got for the same amp volume knob position, does this mean that this DAC has much lower gain than the x6?
Also I can hear a click through the headphones every time the audio source goes on or off, something than the x6 didnt do either, is this the normal way of working of this device?
The preamp is important.The 10B would be a tad over 6 dB higher than the X6, detectable but, not dramatically so. What are you connecting the DAC output to?
oh well, i went through all 36 sites just to find the pcb picture i was searching for on the last pageThe display flat cable can be removed and D10 works fine.
