Cubilux USB A SPDIF Invoeradapter voor PC, geschikt voor stereo-opname (niet voor afspelen), Toslink naar USB ontvanger, USB A SPDIF RX interface, ideaal voor laptop en computer

Excellent product, just what I needed to make a connection from my DAB radio with optical output to the USB A connector of my computer. The adapter installs itself under the Windows audio devices without installing any drivers.

See the photo. The HDMI audio extractor is fine but in a messy lab analog audio gets buzzes and hums. I had some success going via the DAC (box with white and red phonos) optical in and a short analog cable but with the SPDIF to USB the signal stays digital. I only need stereo. Incidentally the Prozar DAC costs 10 quid and comes with an optical cable, while Amazon Basics 0.5m cable alone costs a fiver. Linux info belowlsusbBus 002 Device 004: ID 0c76:1151 JMTek, LLC.

I got this device so I could connect the analog output of my turntable to to my laptop computer for vinyl record conversions. My turntable already had an analog to digital converter (ADC) that I'd previously bought from Amazon, which converts standard two-channel analog audio outputs on the turntable to a digital optical signal (SPDIF). My laptop, like most computers, has no connection for an SPDIF cable, so I needed a bridge between the ADC's optical output to my laptop's USB port. This device does exactly that.Optical SPDIF cables use a thin glass fiber housed in a protective sleeve, similar to a wire's insulated cover, to send light pulses containing audio information between stereo components. These cables use Toslink connectors at both ends that snap into compatible Toslink ports you'll find on some CD/DVD players, AV receivers, TVs and other components.So how can you connect a non-electrical optical cable to a computer's USB port? With this Cubilux adapter, which saved the day. The Cubilux does an excellent job of converting SPDIF optical audio signals into electrical data via a standard USB A port on your computer. All you need is an optical output on your source device such as a CD player or TV/video device (or, in my case, a turntable with an A to D converter), an SPDIF cable of the appropriate length for your setup, and this Cubilux adapter that plugs into your computer's USB port. Of course you'll need software in the computer that knows how to accept the USB port's digital audio signal -- I've been using a program called VinylStudio for this -- and you're off and running.This setup provides a bridge between the home entertainment world and the computer world, since SPDIF was only intended to provide clean digital connections between consumer electronics equipment without any electrical interference (it uses a light beam). It was never intended to be used with computers, so I'm very appreciative that this converter exists, and that Amazon sells it for a very reasonable price. I really don't know where such a device could be found anywhere else.Performance-wise, the adapter works like a charm. The sound quality is excellent, and appears to be transparent, meaning that it doesn't seem to be affecting or coloring the source signal in any way. It's powered by the computer's USB port, so there's no wall wart or other power connection required to use it.I'm very impressed by the adapter's performance. It's been rock solid during nearly 100 vinyl album conversions so far, and it does exactly what I needed it to do. Most importantly, t's allowing me to rediscover music, some of which is long out of print, that I've not heard for decades, which can now be stored on my phone and computer and listened to wherever I am. Many thanks to the company that developed this excellent product.

El dispositivo funciona bien, es plug and play. No hay que instalar nada, el pc lo reconoce al instante. Calidad de audio lo esperado, no es un dispositivo de alta calidad de audio, en las gráficas espectrográficas se observa mucho ruido de armónicos a partir de frecuencias media-altas y altas, se ha utilizado una señal de barrido sinoidal de 20 a 20kHz capturando el audio desde salida óptica de un reproductor de CD se observa mucho ruido de intermodulación La otra gráfica es la señal pura extraida del generador de ondas sin pasar por el dongle óptico, el espectrorama está perfecto sin ruidos ni harmonicos ni ruido de intermodulación. Para capturar audio y reproducirlo en el coche o en el smartphone o en un equipo de audio modesto es más que suficiente. Si eres purista y buscas extraer audio en alta calidad y digitalizarlo en plan Hi-Fi de por ej tus vinilos desde un giradiscos de presupuestos de por ejemplo 700€ tendrás que invertir mucho más dinero si quieres máxima calidad. Por lo demás francamente va GENIAL. Si eres de los que no quieres complicarte la vida este dongle te satisfacerá extraordinaria.

Testé avec Pulseaudio - parfait.

I've been having trouble being able to capture optical in, have tried 2 different sound cards and nothing. But this was just quite literally plug and play, and it just works, I have nice clear audio. It is only 2 channel audio which is kinda a down side but I only need to capture 2 channel audio, so it works perfect for me.
