Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96 Technical Support

CD-ROM Connection

Since there is no connection directly from my PC's CD-ROM to the Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96, I propose to buy a cable with an SPDIF plug on one end to connect to my CD-ROM's (or basic sound card's) headphone jack.

I am looking for confirmation that this is the right approach before I proceed.

I am not sure what it is your trying to acheive. You can't connect SPDIF into a headphone jack and expect to get digital. Please clarify why you are trying to do whatever it is you are trying to do.

Elle's right.

Note that if you use the latest version of Winamp or of Miscosoft's Windows Media Player, you can play the audio CDs as if they were data CDs -- that is, read them straight off the drive and play them from the WAV player device, without requiring any cable.
