How to use S/PDIF in motherboard to ampliferes..!!

[koolguy]

Hi, i have Intel DH55 TC motherboard mounted with S/PDIF connector for digital audio output so how to use it for amplifiers..!!

You use an amplifier that has a S/PDIF input.... The S/PDIF data is a simple serial stream, the format of which you can look up on the Internet if you want to do anything with it yourself.

The S/PDIF digital format has to be converted to analog format for the amplifier.

You can buy converters to do that, just search for "S/PDIF to Analog Converter".

so why are you 'amplifying' your post by writing in bold ??

Is spdf give good sound then other o/p??

 

[carmusic]

it is directly the digital sound without any loss (better than any analog source), most a/v amplifier have build in spdif input now (optical or coaxial or hdmi). if you only have analog input then use your analog output of the motherboard

When i connect it directly to amplifier, it gives radio distorted sound, why??

 

[blueroomelectronics]

Because it needs to be decoded.

Ritesh your problem might be lack of focus, try tacking one subject at a time till you understand it. Your posts are all over the map.

what is your amplifier?

what is your amplifier?

it's high power Deck ( have darlington in it), near by 300W.

depends.
i have a Yamaha amp here which just plain sounds BAD when using its digital inputs, but it's analogue inputs sound great.
actually, when i say "bad" i don't mean something subjective, "unusable" would be the correct term.

irbirb, if your digital imputs sounds bad you're not using them right =)

no! seriously. i think there's a low-pass filter of of wack. high-pitched 'data-noise' bleeds through. + not all ADC circuits are created equal.

The Yamaha amp may have a poor quality D/A converter.

Yeah, then it's faulty hardware irbirb, spdif from my computer to my home stereo is flawless.
