FAQs

Does this DAC support surround sound?

No, the Lindy TosLink (Optical) and Coaxial to Phono DAC only supports uncompressed digital stereo audio signals and outputs analog stereo audio.

What is the maximum sampling frequency supported?

This DAC supports a high sampling frequency of up to 24 bit / 96kHz.

Can I connect both a TosLink and a Coaxial cable at the same time?

Yes, the DAC has both TosLink (Optical) and Digital Coaxial input ports. You can use the input selection switch to choose which active input you want to use.

What type of audio cables do I need for the output?

You will need standard L/R Phono (RCA) cables to connect the DAC's analog output to your amplifier or speakers.

Is a power adapter included with the DAC?

The product description does not specify if a power adapter is included. Please refer to the product packaging or retailer information for details.

Can I use this to connect a TV's optical output to an older stereo system?

Troubleshooting

No audio output

Verify all cable connections are secure on both the source and the output device. Ensure the correct input is selected on the DAC and the analog audio system. Check that the source device is outputting audio in stereo PCM format. Confirm the DAC is powered on.

Distorted or low-quality audio

Ensure the audio source is set to output uncompressed stereo audio (PCM). Check that the digital audio cables are not damaged and are properly seated. Verify the sampling frequency support of the connected analog system.

One audio channel missing (left or right)

Check the L/R Phono cables for secure connection and ensure they are not damaged. Test the cables with another audio device if possible. Confirm the source is outputting a stereo signal.

Device not powering on

Ensure the power adapter (if applicable) is correctly connected to the DAC and a functional power outlet. Check the power adapter for any visible damage.
