    DACs with transformer isolated co-axial SPDIF input?

    In case anyone is reading this and looking for a similar solution, my research indicates that the coax to optical conversion and using the optical SPDIF input to the DAC is the only way to completely remove ground loop hum. This is because the SPDIF coax specification requires hard grounding...

    DACs with transformer isolated co-axial SPDIF input?

    Your solution is what I am currently using, and it does work. I understand the issue with impedance mismatch between RCA and BNC coax cables, but if it works and no issues with signal drop out, why not do it? The question is only rhetorical. The beauty of digital signals is that it is low...

    DACs with transformer isolated co-axial SPDIF input?

    I'm looking for DACs in the <$300 USD range that have a transformer isolated co-axial SPDIF input. I saw that this was a feature for the JDS Labs EL DAC II+, ("Coaxial S/PDIF input is isolated using a Pulse transformer to minimize the possibility of ground loop noise.") which seems like a good...

    Douk Audio DAC-Q11--The first USB DAC with Switchable ESS9038Q2M and AK4493?

    Since the third mode outputs the ESS to 1 set of RCAs and the AKM to the other set, just plug in left speaker to output 1 and right one to output 2!
