 | Xitel MDPORT-DG1 | USB to TOSLink digital audio output device | $100 Availability: | In: USB Out: TOSlink (optical digital) | |
Description: USB to TOSlink device. Not compatible with Sharp or JVC MD units, or the Sony MZ-R3, MZ-R5, MZ-R30, MZ-R37, MZ-R55 units (because the DG1's optical output is turned off when no audio is being output, and the synchronization delay to reaquire the S/PDIF stream causes certain MD units to clip the beginning of the recording). Sony includes this unit with their MZ-RxxxDPC portable MD recorders with USB PC Link kits. Links: Xitel's official page for this unit. Brian comments on using the Xitel MDPORT-DG1 with MD gear. This item is available from Minidisco and Planet MiniDisc. Reviews: User Manual: MDPORT-DG1 | |||||
