Help me with designing a toslink output circuit
« on: September 11, 2018, 08:10:09 am »
Hi everybody,
i have a yamaha keyboard here with a dead left+right output but the headphone out works.
first i need to see if the DAC or if the output jacks is damaged.
Anyway i wanted to add a toslink output if i am in there working on the DAC.
should i break off the signal from the L+R input pins on the DAC to avoid conversion to analog. or should i pull it off the dac outputs?

Then i was thinking about using one of these cheap USB SPDIF DAC, but would it work if i pulled off the usb from the board and wire the dac inputs to it...

Odds are good that the problem is the socket (Connectors are almost always the way to bet with MI gear).

I would be very surprised to find the DAC on that keyboard had separate L, R INPUTS, they almost all use some variant of I2S or its similar kin.

Assuming one of the usual sort of SPDIF interface chips (a CS-something or other?) you will need Data, LRCLK, SCLK and (probably) a MCLK at 128 or 256 times the audio sample rate, these are most likely available on the DAC chip.

Regards, Dan.
