Hi all
Looking for some help with this one. I have the Xonar D2X soundcard which I have connected to my Cambridge Audio Azur 640A Amp. I'm currently running through the 3.5mm jacks, but noticed it has an SPDIF output and loads of Dolby/DTS features associated with this output.
I don't think I can connect to the Amp using this type of connection, am I right? It only has phono connectors on the back and terminals for the speaker cables to go to.
I've had a look online and as far as I can tell SPDIF is called Coaxial Cable? (Not Optical). It seems to be a regular Phono (RCA) connection, but I was confused as there is only x1 SPDIF output on the soundcard which means would I only plug in to one connector on the Amp.... so how does that do stereo sound?
Or do I need a new amp basically with some kind of dedicated SPDIF input. lol.
Cheers for any help!
