This one has a DAC in it, but I already have an external DAC that accept COAX/OPTICAL input. Can I use it to output OPTICAL? Other options for my purp

If you use i-20 SPDIF (digital coax/optical output) it should bypass its internal DAC, at least it is what PURE announces. Mine sounds amazing, but I sincerely don't know exactly where convert process occurs. In my case I've connected it through SPDIF to M1DAC Musical Fidelity and all sources connected to i-20 sounds amazing.

hi, I'm not clear about what your asking. Please try again and I'll do my best to answer

Yes. The optical output of the Pure i-20 is a digital stream that can be an input to an external DAC or a DAC built in to an amplifier or receiver.

Hi ThienYes the I-20 outputs digital signal via coax/optical. I use the optical output directly to a Meridian processor that has a better Dac & the combo works great.

Yes absolutely. Don't worry about optical input in your NAD 312. This CD player already have a professional DAC (Digital to Analog Converter).So you can use RCA cable for connection.I recommend you to use a high quality RCA cable to get the best result .(Like link below on Amazon.com)AudioQuest - Evergreen RCA-to-RCA 1.5mThanks.

Yes this converts up to 3 Analog/digital Signals to 1 Analog/Digital source. I used this for a Bose Cinemate Sounbar since the aux would override the default Optical in. Hooked a 400 CD Disk changer up to switcher 2channel audio Hooked up Blu-Ray using optical Toslink Hooked up DirectTV digital box using optical ToslinkOutputed 1 Digital Optical Toslink to soundbar, and based on what I want to listen to I just hit Source 1,2 or 3 and it swaps to that source.

Well, i mean, the only reason I want to use the analog connectors is because I think I'll be able to get TrueHD and DTS-Master audio if I do it that way, instead of using my fiber optic cable or coaxle cable. Is this true??

If you use the Coax out, you bypass the DAC. You'll get better results using the coax out if the next component in line has a better DAC than the uDac does. If not, it will be better to use the RCA out.

I need this ability as well as I need to daisy chain the audio output to another amp. There definitley is no secondary digital audio out, so if someone who has this unit could see if the SA-CD or Video 1 audio outputs work for all input sources, that would be great. This is the only thing keeping me from buying this unit. Thanks.

Yes, you need to buy an optical to RCA converter as I did...FIIO D3 (D03K) Digital to Analog Audio Converter with SMI Gold Plated 6ft Optical TOSLink Cable and RCA-to-3.5MM Audio Cable- 192kHz/24bit Optical and Coaxial DAC

Yes, there are several newer devices out now that have optical and co-ax type digital outs. Search amazon for "bluetooth receiver with digital" that will get you started. They are more expensive but I would probably go that way today if I wanted a new one, just for the flexibility. None of these little devices will "ever" have the level of DAC as you can find in a high end audio system but then again streaming high end audio over bluetooth is almost an oxymoron even with aptX. Enjoy.

There are many adapters in the marketHere is one :Digital Optical Coaxial Toslink Signal to Analog Audio Converter Adapter RCA L/RYou can get it on amazon or ebay

Yes it has an optical out using the same jack/header as the "line in" jack/header...a supplied insulator insulates the "line in" terminals and sees the "Toslink" transmitter behind it. The "line in" and the "Toslink" cannot be used simultaneosly. Is not a problem, I use the "front out" to source a Klipsch desktop 5.1 system for monitoring. The "Front out" is coax wth "PCM" and some other options. Great little card...I do not drive speakers through it...only use it as a source.

Thanks for your question. You may connect a DAC using either the coaxial or optical digital inputs. This is a fantastic sounding amplifier. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Marantz dealer.

Found this on the MonoPrice site. "* The S/PDIF Optical (Toslink) and Digital Coax audio output formats are based on the HDMI audio output. If any of the sync devices (e.g., HDTV, Projector, etc.) connected to the output can only support stereo audio, then the S/PDIF Optical (Toslink) and Digital Coaxial outputs will be limited to PCM stereo audio."

No, it does not have a TOSLINK optical input; it will only work as a DAC when connected to a host computer as a USB device.

Hello Lobsterinthesun. I purchased one of these and it does what it needs to do. It will convert a digital audio output into an analog signal. I needed this to convert the digital output from a TV to an analog input to a PS3 unit. It will take either a Toslink digital output or a coaxil digital output and convert it to an analog output. All you would need to do is to take a set of RCA cables from the output of this unit and plug it into your receiver.

I have two Asus Xonar sound cards that send digital signal from my computers to older MSB DACs. The sound is quite wonderful, very musical. I prefer to use the optical out if I can, but coax seems to work very well too. These are both in older computers that are dedicated to audio playback only.

No you cannot. This unit allows you to connect a digital INPUT signal (optical or coaxial (orange rca)) to the box and OUTPUT analog audio signal on the red and white rca connectors. It does not output on the optical port.
