Plenty of excellent digital processors, preamplifiers, and integrated amplifiers accept only S\/PDIF inputs — coaxial, optical, or AES\/EBU. The SPDIF Board gives any STREAM or ZEN Next-Gen server all three, from a single module with its own optimized independent power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a focused piece of engineering: the right output type, cleanly implemented, for the systems that need it. The independent power supply keeps noise from the host chassis out of the digital output stage, and gold-plated connectors throughout. PCM up to 24bit\/192kHz covers everything up to high-resolution streaming and local files — the limit of what S\/PDIF as a protocol can carry at any interface, so there's no headroom left on the table for the format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree situations make the SPDIF Board the obvious call. First: you have a DAC with coaxial or AES inputs that you prefer to USB, either because the DAC's USB implementation is weak or because you've simply found the S\/PDIF inputs sound better in your system. Second: you're connecting to a digital processor or surround preamp that has no USB input. Third: you want to feed a second component — a headphone DAC, a recording device — via the optical output while using a different module output as your primary path. The SPDIF Board is the practical solution when USB isn't the answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTREAM1: compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTREAM3: compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZEN Next-Gen: compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZENith Next-Gen: compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: AES\/EBU (XLR), Coaxial S\/PDIF (RCA), Optical S\/PDIF (TOSLINK)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCM Support: Up to 24bit\/192kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Supply: Optimized independent supply for ultra-low noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnectors: Gold-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation: Factory-fitted at time of purchase or retrofitted later\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're unsure whether your DAC's coaxial input or AES input will sound better than its USB input with an Innuos source, that's worth a conversation.
