This module is our S/PDIF interface modules. Around since the eighties, S/PDIF is the universal interface and is sent over optical, coaxial, or differential cabling. This interface is limited in both sample rate, supported data formats, and bit depth. Toslink, Coaxial, and Balanced digital interfaces are most commonly asynchronous unless a separate clock feedback channel is added to the transport or server. In all of our DACs, we provide the best isolation possible the format allows, helping prevent most electrical noise from coupling from the transport.

Advantages:

-Universal across the industry including consumer market
-Toslink is 100% electrically isolated
-Provides an isolated Word Sync output for clock feedback

Limitations:

-Asynchronous (Unless Word Sync is used )
-Isolation (except for Toslink) is limited
-Medium to High jitter
-No error detection or correction
-Limited to 24/192kHz and 1xDSD via DoP
-Limited to short cable lengths without performance degradation.
