As the title suggests I am looking for a way to convert an optical signal coming from my mac mini into a usb signal to go into my d2+ boa. Now I know I should I have just bought a d4 or something WITH optical input but I wasn't aware of just how important isolation was when I bout it. This thread is in DIY because I haven't seen anything to do this. I have seen a whole bunch of things to convert usb to optical but that is NOT what I am after. So, I am now trying to gather as much information as possible to help me get started.
I am looking for any information anyone has on such a project. Such as,
Encoding of the Optical Signal coming from the mac mini
USB encoding
Hardware that should be used (power supplies, IC's, etc)
I know I can get all of this information on the web, which is what I plan to do, but I thought it would be fun to put this up on the board and see if anyone would like to help. Also, if this has already been done before please point me in that direction.
THANKS EVERYONE!
Oh, and if this turns out to be a DIY project I'll post some updates in this thread, if anyone really cares.
