S/PDIF What is It?
I've been converting LPs to .cda using a Technichs SL-1200M3D turntable.
It has RCA outs that I connect to a pre-amp/mixer, which is connected to the line in of my sound card. It's been working fine. I was browsing around and saw a Stanton turntable: http://www.stantondj.com/v2/prod_t80.asp which has S/PDIF output (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format). The descrition also says this is convenient for archiving vinyl. What is this? Does this mean that I'd plug the S/PDIF out(s) directly to my soundcard, without going through my pre-amp/mixer? If you're familiar with this turntable, are there also RCA outs on it? And, does it have a lever arm to pick up and place the tone arm? I find this feature very helpful on the Technics I'm currently using. Thanks, Bruce |

S/PDIF is digital so your analog input on your sound card won't work connected that way. But some computers have a provision for S/PDIF out and in. If you have that feature, you are in luck. The spec for the turntable says it has phono / line out provision. If it is true line out, then you should be able to connect that direct to the analog sound card input. Looks like a nice table though and that is key to making noise free copies of your old 33's. Tom S. |
