SPDIF header

[Brendon]

I dunno whats it called, basically I need something that connects to the SPDIF adapter that connects to your motherboard.

Thanks

I had started the same thread 3 years back when I was looking for that bracket.

Its not commonly available locally, either you purchase it from ebay USA for go the DIY way.

Damn even I need one! :ashamed:

cranky had made a guide to make one but I wouldn't have the time and patience to get the stuff, sit down and solder.

Even eBay GEB is expensive - http://orders.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI....ubSearch&qwd=spdif+bracket&cid=-1&qbtn=Search

I would rather upgrade to a new mobo with coaxial out than spend 1k on this.

Added benefits would be USB3/Sata 3 support on new mobo.

Otherwise DIY FTW.

Its a real real easy DIY guys. Just get a good guide and you should be able to create one in less than 50 bucks.

A bit OT but how much is the difference in sound quality. My mobo supports this but I never used it.

 

[Vasishta.Sushant]

Depends upon what the output device is. SPDIF is a digital signal, different from the other line/speaker out signals.

Do you need something like this?

 

[Brendon]

Yup ! Done deal !!!!

 

[BIKeINSTEIN]

^ I just asked if you need something similar- I didn't say that one is for sale- sorry. :ashamed:

You will have to pay maybe 4.5K for that but you will get a decent ATX P45 mobo free with it.

My friend uses that for his Yamaha AVR + JBL 5.1

Please give me some time to dig up one for you.

 

[Gannu]

^One for me as well - i.e after Brendon get's one. Please.

Brendon, sorry for the hijack. :ashamed:

 

[Brendon]

^^ Hey no probs.

As long as its AFTER I get mine !

 

[Brendon]

Bump !!!!!

 

[BIKeINSTEIN]

I found one a few weeks back.

Looks almost exactly like the one in your pic, but with a 2-pin header (similar to the one for the 2-pin fans on low-end GPUs). :S

 

[Gannu]

^A 2 pin header is what is required for the SPDIF coaxial. A 3 pin header has the configuration - VCC (+5V), SPDIF out and Ground. The VCC is used for optical out.

Peps even check Deal Xtreme

Err, is there any difference between SPDIF input and coaxial input ?

 

[Gannu]

What I meant was, the 2 pin header Bikey has is suitable for SPDIF coaxial input/output. If the user requires it for SPDIF optical, the 3rd pin comes into picture.

 

[Brendon]

Ah ! Ok, I see.

@Bikey - Could you see if that guy wishes to sell it ? I wish to buy it.

2 Pin is required for Coax spdif output, the 3 pin required for optical spdif output to power the light. I am in the process of doing a DIY spdif coax bracket, will post when complete.
