Re: S/PDIF output

Yeah! its an iroda gas iron, not a very small tip, very fiddly, didn't appreciate how small it was. TBH, I'm the sort of person that will be questioning if done it right the whole time afterwards anyway so maybe its best I find a retail solution! I have found some USB DACs using the CM108 chip, but ...

Re: S/PDIF output

My soldering is limited to chunky audio cables me thinks... Best not break open the joggler yet. Aaargh - Not one person out there with a w...

Re: S/PDIF output

Well in the absence of suggestions I have ordered a CM108 usb soundcard (same as that linked to above) and found this data sheet, which suggests soldering to pin 1 for spdif and pin 14 for digital ground should give me the the RCA SPDIF I am after: http://www.qsl.net/om3cph/sb/CM108_DataSheet_v1.6.p...

Re: S/PDIF output

Are you suggesting more soldering required?!! Suppose it's less risky than doing it to the joggler directly. Do you have details of doing it? It's a real shame there aren't more out there using USB spdif. It's the main reason I got the joggler, and I can't stand to use the headphone out with all my ...

Re: S/PDIF output

Is no one else using usb audio? Considering it is very popular to use these as psuedo squeezebox touch's, I can't believe everyone is using internal speakers or the headphone socket!

Re: S/PDIF output

I haven't no, mainly because I don't have one! Will have to order one.

I would expect it not to be picked up at all if there was not enough power?

Re: S/PDIF output

Hi All I have been searching for a while now and keep coming back to this post over and over again - so apoogies to resurrect a slightly old one but it seems relevant. I have purchased a joggler with the intention of using as a squeezeplayer, via a USB soundcard with SPDIF out to my amp (standard CM...
