SPDIF 5.1-channel supported connection to external speakers
Using the SPDIF port and a surround sound speaker system, you can feel
the dynamic range of 5.1-channel Digital Theatre Surround Sound.
Sadly, Coby is crap, and PQI's stuff looks like crap.
Only looking at these PMP devices as spdif source output for the ibasso D1 or other spdif DAC means that the quality will based on the audio file decoder and spdif bus to correctly implement quality biphase mark code signal with <1-10 ns jitter. It also depends on if they added in some DSP to the decoded audio signal you don't know about or can't turn off.
But, yeah, if you listen to them with the stereo out, that may produce fairly poor audio since it is from the comsumer grade DAC and AMB. That is why we are looking for these devices in this thread with spdif so we can use an external DAC and amp. I view these purely as sources. All I really want is
This is probably a stupid question, but would it be possible to attach a device with usb host capabilities to the ibasso (with a usb cable) and play music? Sorry if this is too far off topic.
