Toslink to Digital RCA yes or no can do?

[Scooter B]

Your mission is to help me connect a Roland SRV-3030D with digital RCA connectors to my Yamaha AW16G with Toslink connectors utilizing the digital aux in and out.

In searching this forum I found one or two threads saying it can't be done and one or two more saying I just need a fifteen dollar adapter.


In the yes corner we have:

Does your soundcard have coaxial (RCA connector) or optical (TosLink) S/PDIF I/O?

In the no can do corner we have:

The minidisc input is a digital one, the kind that takes a toslink cable. Is there such a cable that has the rca connctor at one side to come from my audiophile and go into the minidisc and transfer a S/PDIF signal?

Can someone clear this up for me?

The M-Audio CO2 will do the trick for you. It is bi-directional, it's sounds like you really only need half of the CO2, but it will work for you. There may be other products out there, this is the first one that comes to mind though.

Good Luck!

Thanks Raw-Tracks,

I did some more reading and found more people referrenceing the CO2 and my AW16G does support S/PDIF so I picked up the CO2 yesterday and some digital RCA cable. I already have the Toslinks.
