I was really just wondering if you thought it would be some sort of quality 'upscale', which of course it's not. It would probably be more expensive to get a DAC with balanced analog outs, & a volume pot. tbh, these days I've just got a home studio workroom, I unbalance my dynAudio inputs & send analog all the way, ¼" TR>XLR, just because it's easiest & I already have the DACs. [My days of needing AES/EBU all the way are long past… from about the time I was using ADAT machines too;) | |
| Mar 12, 2021 at 12:07 | comment | added | Edgar | @Tetsujin I have the JBL 708P speakers in mind. They have AES3 XLR and analoge XLR input. I prefer the digital input because the source (the PC) is all digital. It seems it's relative easy to convert S/PDIF into AES3. | |
