Looking for an audio interface/dac with xlr/(1/4) and spdif

[SporeTinte049]

Hello everybody,

At the end of the year I would like to buy Studio Monitors. I prefer Genelec or Neumann, but that's not the topic here.

Currently I have a pair of Edifier 1280T connected to a Dell U2414H. From there my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) is connected via Displayport and my Xbox One S via HDMI.

My intention is this:

I'm looking for an Interface/DAC that allows me to run both my Xbox One S and my MacBook. The Xbox One has an S/PDIF optical output. So far I have found the following products:

• Audient iD22
• Cambridge Audio DACMagic Plus

First I want to run a 2.0 system, later adding a subwoofer.

Maybe someone here knows another insider tip! In terms of price, it should be around the Audient iD22.

I am sorry for my English (living in Germany)

 

Greetings

  Toslink is not as popular as it was. Newer units may be coax instead. 

  I doubt anyone does this, but Benchmark used to have a tech sheet on their website for converting toslink to coax. I did a couple, mainly changing the jack and some caps and resistors. Worked perfectly.

Gefen is a respected brand that makes a Bidirectional Toslink – Coax converter:

Monoprice and CablesToGo have much cheaper converters.
