Hey sexy

2018-07-10 22:57:51 UTC  

k

2018-07-10 22:58:29 UTC  

I need to know something. Is there a device, Chink or otherwise that will take an analog 5.1 output and let me input it into a Digital input; coax or TOSlink

2018-07-10 22:59:32 UTC  

oof

2018-07-10 22:59:37 UTC  

no idea

2018-07-10 22:59:40 UTC  

sorry

2018-07-10 23:00:17 UTC  

Been looking, google won't help. But of course I dunno what it would be called

2018-07-10 23:00:51 UTC  

Ask /g/?

2018-07-10 23:01:02 UTC  

I haven't yet

2018-07-10 23:01:15 UTC  

I'd say that's your best bet

2018-07-10 23:02:10 UTC  

I see the reverse, Coax/TOSlink to Analog 5.1

2018-07-10 23:19:02 UTC  

I can't ask /g/

2018-07-11 00:23:59 UTC  

@tgotr youre not going to find it really

2018-07-11 00:24:08 UTC  

search for high channel count adcs

2018-07-11 00:25:15 UTC  

itll only really be studio gear

2018-07-11 00:25:44 UTC  

and it probably wont have a coax or toslink out

2018-07-11 00:25:53 UTC  

AES or firewire really

2018-07-11 00:25:58 UTC  

Lame. It seems my only option is to track down an older receiver and use it as an intermediary.

2018-07-11 00:27:11 UTC  

that wont do digital out tho

2018-07-11 00:27:16 UTC  

from the inputs at least

2018-07-11 00:27:26 UTC  

might do digital passthrough but idk about htat even

2018-07-11 00:28:01 UTC  

So I can't use this piece of equipment at all unless I go all old equipment, run it into an old reciever and connect speakers there

2018-07-11 00:29:18 UTC  

what are you actually trying to do

2018-07-11 00:32:20 UTC  

Getting AC-3 out of my old LDs. The box in question is an AC-3RF Demodulator (Yamaha DDP-1) , but it's built to work in tandem with a specific receiver. I have everything going through my main ATMOS receiver, but this box can not be hooked up as is because my receiver has no Analog inputs aside from Stereo.

2018-07-11 00:34:53 UTC  

tbh just get a new receiver

2018-07-11 00:35:29 UTC  

This is a new receiver tbh. It's a 7.2.2

2018-07-11 00:35:40 UTC  

get one that isnt all digital

2018-07-11 00:36:10 UTC  

itll be cheaper that the solution you want

2018-07-11 00:38:08 UTC  

Possibly.

2018-07-11 00:38:28 UTC  

Or just get a different AC-3RF demodulator that does output digital.

2018-07-11 00:51:27 UTC  

I have a cheaper option, build 5 small amps, making my speakers into powered speakers, and connect them directly into the 5.1 multi-channel output of the DDP-1

2018-07-11 10:26:23 UTC  

i wonder, since china's got way more lax regulations on this sort of stuff than the west

2018-07-11 10:26:31 UTC  

is any chinese company manufacturing type 4 tape?

2018-07-11 10:27:02 UTC  

i can only get my hands on type 1 and sometimes 2 from western brands, new old stock type 4 has gotten "may as well go reel to reel" expensive

2018-07-11 10:28:24 UTC  

bc honestly fuck vinyl, a good type 4 tape (honestly even a type 2 with dolby nr) outperforms it also tapes are mechanically and conceptually cooler

2018-07-11 11:02:15 UTC  

Yeah good question

2018-07-11 21:26:42 UTC  

probably not, Metal tapes would cost a lot to produce, even for china. Even the type I tapes are low quality, even by Type I standards

2018-07-11 22:14:04 UTC  

figures

2018-07-11 22:14:30 UTC  

type 1 is fine for dungeon synth and black metal at least, and really that's almost all of what i have any interest in buying on cassettes anyway
