I took a look at that one on eBay, and from the pictures can see that the transport and DAC/preamp are connected with some sort of multi-way cable, which is probably proprietory. I tried searching the web for more info, but couldn't find any. I bet that one of the connectors inside that cable carries an SPDIF signal, or possibly I2S. It may well be that there is a clock input on the transport so that the master clock is from the DAC. Have you thought about contacting Meridian to ask if there's any way you can feed an SPDIF signal into the 207 DAC?
Just a guess, but the digital output might possibly be intended to supply a pair of digital speakers (eg. Meridian 6000). -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27485 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
