FAQs

Can this converter convert analog audio to digital?

No, the Lindy 70457 is designed exclusively for digital audio signals (SPDIF) and can only convert between coaxial and optical formats.

What is the maximum audio resolution supported?

The converter supports digital audio up to a high resolution of 24-bit / 192kHz.

Does it support surround sound formats like Dolby Digital and DTS?

Yes, it supports LPCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS audio formats, ranging from stereo (2 channels) up to 5.1 channel surround sound.

Do I need to install any software for this to work?

No, the Lindy 70457 is a 'Plug and Play' device, meaning it requires no software installation or drivers.

What kind of power supply does it need?

It requires a 5V DC power supply. A standard USB power adapter and cable are typically used, but these are not included with the converter.

Can I connect two sources simultaneously?

The converter has one input selector. You can connect a coaxial source and an optical source to the respective inputs, but only one input can be active at a time, selected via the switch. It will output this selected signal to both the coaxial and optical outputs simultaneously.

What is the benefit of the repeater function?

The repeater function helps to regenerate and strengthen the digital audio signal, allowing it to travel over longer distances than a standard cable would permit without signal degradation.

Troubleshooting

No audio output

Ensure all cables are securely connected. Verify the correct input is selected using the selector switch. Check that both the source and destination devices are powered on and set to the correct input/output. Confirm the power source is connected to the converter.

Intermittent audio or static

Check the integrity of your SPDIF cables for damage. Try using shorter, higher-quality cables. Ensure the sample rate and audio format set on your source device are supported by the converter (up to 24-bit/192kHz, Dolby Digital/DTS 5.1).

Converter not powering on

Verify that the 5V power source is properly connected and functioning. Try a different USB power adapter or cable if applicable.

Audio only from one output (Coaxial or Optical)

The converter is designed to output to *both* Coaxial and Optical simultaneously based on the selected input. If you only receive audio from one, check that your destination device is correctly connected to the intended output port and configured to receive that signal type.

Pros and Cons
