just thought id throw it out there. btw, the behringer has a spdif input. the chassis looks big but i'm sure you could hack it apart and condense it. hell, talk to veritas_forge and he could probably make a custom case for it

And don't forget, the Behringer has a serial port and software to control settings via PC.

aaron-

I'd sticky this for you but I think you should contact mp3car first to make sure they are ok with that per forum rules

if i would have know about this about 6 months ago i would have jumped on this combo to test out in my system :-( I would have been a perfect candidate :-) pc, balanced inputs on my amps and fully active! damn it!

how small do you think you could get that behringer if you took it out of the case? do you have a top down of all the components inside the case? do you need to have the front panel connected to have the unit work? (wont need that since i'll have a pc)

Dennis5587 · 09-06-2007, 05:38 PM

hmmmmmmm... just when my sound card turns out to be backordered....

Dennis5587 · 09-06-2007, 07:44 PM

it has a digital in... but it's an xlr connection... would this work with a digital line out from a soundblaster?

the owners manual states spdif input so i'd contact them before you go this route, but this link may help you:

You would need either the box linked on ebay, or the instructions in the document from RANE, as the input on the Behringer is an AES/EBU and not straight SPDIF.

So..what he said.

Thanks, Durwood. I was in the process of asking them about this when someone already posted to the forum.

the manual says it's straight s/pdif too though... i wonder if a simple cable would actually work.

i think it has something to do with the new chipsets can actually handle the lesser signal of s/pdif as well as still handling aes. I have been researching this a bit now :-)
