It said digital_IO near input/output jacks... does that mean NO ANALOG...? Thank you!

i am using analog speakers and an analog mic. I don't use the digital input

I dont know. but this usually sounds better than the computer on board sound on old computers. But I am using the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium PCI Express Sound Card and it is awesome sounding get that one like that if you want a good one.

I asked Sonos support a somewhat similar question regarding using their DAC. If you don't care for the DAC in the Connect, you can always use the digital optical out on it (this bypasses its own internal DAC) and send it to whatever DAC you'd like for the conversion. Basically, as long as you aren't using any analog connection out, it stays digital and you can do whatever you'd like with it.

It is an output, i did not use them, it is a higher end connection for sep. Items amps etc. Stereo is the master unit every thing past it is a slave unit. Hope this helps .

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.

It only works with analog signal... So if it is digital it does not send the signal

No. I spoke with a Vanatoo engineer about this a few months ago. The speakers have what can be described as a digital amplifier, so any analog input will be converted to digital by the Vanatoo DAC. Anecdotally, the engineer said that customers are doing with audiophile-ish external DACs and are happy with the result i.e. the customers report hearing the good bits from their DACs through the speakers. Your mileage may vary of course. As you can tell from my terminology, I'm not an audio engineer -- just passing on what I heard.

Are you plugging the yellow cable in the green input? Just a suggestion off the top of my head :)

This is a USB audio interface! Routing the audio through your computer's line in eliminates the benefit of this unit's analog-to-digital conversion, which is superior to that of the sound card built into any computer.

I don't know what those symbols refer to, but I am pretty happy with it. It is an analogMonitor, so anything that transmits digitally encoded streams will not be compatible.

Jessica does the cable box have any digital audio out puts or 2nd hdmi . We should be able to make it work I will be working today but as soon as I can I will look at mine and try to come up with something. I hope you and your family have great Christmas dc

Unfortunately, there is no digital out on this console. If your mac has a 1/8" port for a microphone it is easy to bounce the dual-mono output to a stereo headphone jack which could plug into an analog input, but I don't know anything beyond that. There may be conversions for analog outputs to usb or thunderbolt at the apple store, but my apple experience is limited.

Not sure I understand the question. If you're asking if the USB interface is outboard the answer is no. The USB cable plugs directly into the back of the board so there are no "middleman" devices to convert digital to analog and vice versa (unlike Behringers Xenyx USB boards which have an external USB device). You will need to plug your speakers or headphones to the mixer in order to hear sound though. The output options are xlr, 1/4", and yes, RCA or "the red and white plugs".

Looks like you only have digital audio out so you will need to buy Orei DA21 Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA or other converter. The Orei is what I bought and it works great.

No, I don't think so. The manual says that digital input goes through digital output, and analog input goes through analog output.

My husband said one side is digital (left) and the other side is analog. Try changing the wires.

It has both AV input and output. And I only tested the AV input but will test the output later.

It doesn't work by itself, because it's analog over digital, I made that mistake before I study more on it, but if you have adapter to convert analog to digital, it will work as a conveyor, or as connector
