How do I connect SPDIF to speakers?

FAQ :: How to connect audio output through SPDIF?

1. Connect a SPDIF bracket cable (coaxial+optical mixed) into MB SPDIF OUT connector.
2. Check the SPDIF Bracket optical LED must be light-up.
3. Speaker connect to H/W Digital Decoder.
4. Connect SPFID with coaxial cable.
5. Connect SPDIF with Optical cable.

Can you use SPDIF with speakers?

The SPDIF cable can carry up to 8 channels depending on the encoded signal. Some amplified speakers has built-in decoding chips and therefore it can be connected using just one cable (coax or optical). Best uses of SPDIF is when watching movie or listening to music.

Is SPDIF same as 3.5 mm?

There is a 3.5mm SPDIF standard and it’s Optical, not electrical. They do that so you can have analog audio and digital in the same port. The digital poriton is optical while the analog portion is just left/right optical.

How do you use SPDIF output?

To connect digital audio from your PC to an AV receiver:

1. Connect the Digital Out connector on the back panel of your PC, to the Digital Input (SPDIF) on your AV receiver or digital audio system. Use only one Digital Audio Out connector at a time.
2. Select the AV receiver input.

What can I connect to Spdif?

Applications. A common use for the S/PDIF interface is to carry compressed digital audio for surround sound as defined by the standard IEC 61937. This mode is used to connect the output of a DVD player or computer, via optical or coax, to a home theatre amplifying receiver that supports Dolby Digital or DTS.

Is Spdif better than optical?

Either is fine as long as you know what you’re in for with the SPDIF or optical format. Optical carries 8 channels at 44.1/48 kHz while SPDIF carries only 2 channels or is in stereo. Coaxial with SPDIF might also be the way to go since the more expensive optical cables can’t be bent or pinched tightly.

Is USB better than SPDIF?

As we see there is zero difference between the two interfaces as expected from a properly engineered DAC. The same theme continues: USB performs just as well as S/PDIF even in this older DAC. S/PDIF output is full of jitter components so audibly worse than USB.
