How to connect PC via USB to digital amplifier DFA888

[Joery]

Dear All,

I have a amplifier with digital input (coaxial and optical) and would like to connect it to a computer via USB.

Is this possible and if yes, what do I need for it to work?

Thanks for the attention<

If your PC doesn't have optical out intergrated into the headphone socket (common on MACs, less so on PCs) then you just need a USB to optical/coaxial adapter.

Dear Daveh75,

I have googled for this kind of adapter but I get very confused because I don't know what the type of input my amp has.

Could you please give me a link of an example adapter that would work with my amp.?

Thanks a lot,

Greetz

Turtle Beach Micro II. Works with the optical input.

Hi, I have the same question and I am a bit confused: The use of an adapter such as Turtle Beach Micro II (or in my case TERRATEC AUREON DUAL USB), doesn't mean that the adapter's DAC decodes the digital data fom the PC? if this is limited to 16bit / 44.1 and 48 khz and the amplifier goes up to 24bit/192 kHz, will the music be played above the adapter's rate?

Thanks.
