RaspyFi - Topic: from Raspberry Pi to Hongkong DAC http://www.raspyfi.com/forum/everything-else/from-raspberry-pi-to-hongkong-dac/ Simple:Press Version 5.2.6 admin on from Raspberry Pi to Hongkong DAC http://www.raspyfi.com/forum/everything-else/from-raspberry-pi-to-hongkong-dac/#p912 Everything else http://www.raspyfi.com/forum/everything-else/from-raspberry-pi-to-hongkong-dac/#p912 I got your point

I used this some time ago, and it's good for what it costs:

TE7022 USB To coaxial board.Support 24BIT-96KHZ

Or if you prefer a boxed alternative:

MSL SD-022 USB to SPDIF TENOR-TE7022L 24Bit 96K

My DIY HK DAC was 100 USD, together with the PI and a USB -> Coaxial device of 130 USD this will give a strange balance in my opinion. My approach with hdmi to coaxial works fine, but synchronisation is lost in time when the tv is off.

It needs a receiver as well, because it has to receive USB data and then convert it to coaxial...

I think that the XMOS contains a receiver, but in my Hongkond DAC there is also a receiver (CS8416). Why do I need an additional receiver?

Look for this:

XMOS 192kHz high-quality USB to SPDIF

- raspberry Pi -> HDMI Input to HDMI + Coaxial Audio Output Converter -> Hongkong DAC (with Coaxial audio in, CS4397 DAC and CS8416 receiver)

I want to skip the HDMI converter and add a USB to coaxial audio out device. What kind of device do I need? I read a lot of topics on USB DACs but already have the DAC.
