Thanks mate

Hi all,

Can any of these units do AC3/DTS passthrough? If not, any idea of a USB to SPDIF converter that can?

No, But he did test an Amazon basics HDMI Extractor that when test output to coax was flawless. What are you trying to do?

I wanted to get 7.1 or 5.1 digitally from the PC to my preamp. Either as discrete SPDIF channels or as muxed in a single SPDIF. I do have a Lindy HDMI extractor and will try that to start with.

Do you think PO100 can be used along with a Raspberry Pi that is just working as a streamer? That is; Roopie> Pi (USB output) > PO100 (input USB-C ) > Toslink > Dac

That's how I used it.

Yupe, that's how I have mine set up.

Anybody know if it can pass through PCM 5.1 or 7.1 over optical?

The original PO100 is purely stereo.

I don't know about the PO100 Pro and PO100 AK though.

I use PO100, PO100 Pro, and PO100 AK, but all of them can only input pure stereo 2ch signals.
Basically pure audio devices can only input pure stereo 2ch.

Got a PO100 Pro just to learn that it doesn’t allow volume control on Mac.

The original PO100 is no longer available. The Doukaudio U2 is sold for the same price as PO100 Pro and looks like a downgrade. Not that I need the extra features of PO100 Pro, but I don’t want to buy a micro-usb device in 2023 unless there are no other options.

Any other alternatives that have usb-c input and volume control?
