1. INTRODUCTION
The Optical to Analog Audio Converter (DAC) with Dolby® Digital
Decoder provides the ideal solution for converting an optical digital
audio signal to analog stereo audio. With audio sampling rate support
up to 48 kHz (Dolby Digital)/96 kHz (LPCM) and I/O data rate support
up to 24-bit, it provides high quality sound conversion. The Dolby
Digital Decoder function guarantees that Dolby digital audio signals
are downmixed to analog stereo without loss of quality.
This unit is perfect for use in computer audio systems or digital mixing
consoles and can be powered from any spare USB port allowing it
to be used with USB equipped HDTVs, Blu-ray players or computers
without the need for a separate power supply.
2. APPLICATIONS
