Help! Digital Numpty

Unread post by Dr Bunsen Honeydew »

My usual digital numpty - ness

I need a USB plug to single RCA phono line socket adapter for a digital audio signal. To plug a NVA cable into to go from my laptop to my DAC. I looked at ebay and I am confused which is the right one.

Ta!

Its not just a cable you need, its an adapter with "bits" inside :grin:

Something like this to go from USB to digital coaxial, I am sure someone will be along soon with a better cheaper / option.

Do me a favour :roll: it dates from 1988 USB wasn't even invented then. It has got two RCA phono and a CD/Twinlink what ever that is when it is at home.
