SPDIF optical vs. coaxial question...

Post by EnSoNiQuEs~ »

Got Kronos2 (with SPDIF optical) and PA3x (with SPDIF coaxial)...

Thinking of hooking them up to each other to transfer/sample/etc some audio with minimal loss to quality.

The two can't talk unless there is converted of some sort in between, since one is optical the other is coaxial? (if I need one, what's a good make/model)?

Or any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Kawai MK20, Korg X3, Korg PA3X, Korg Extreme 88, Kronos2-88.

Good thing this, i play my Trinity on top of my Kronos and wired Trinity Coaxial SPDIF out throug a little converterbox to Kronos optical SPDIF in. As you mentioned, no loss in audioqualitiy this way and the best, i can apply any Kronos effects to Trinity that i can dream of ☺
Can't name the brand at the moment since i am not at home right now.
Best regards, Robert

I use a Lindy converter, never had any issues with it.
