130 Toslink output

Hi,

I use USB out to my Chord MScaler and DAVE. Curious to try Toslink. Connected via Toslink and enabled the output and disabled the USB out…yet I get no output at all. I am doing anything wrong? Your sage thoughts are appreciated.

@SidMuff

If you are not getting any sound from the Toslink output, please check the following:

  1. Toslink supports only PCM up to 24bit/192kHz.
    If you are playing DSD or higher-rate PCM, there will be no output.
    Please try a standard PCM file (44.1–96kHz).

  2. DSD cannot be sent over Toslink.
    Make sure DSD playback is set to DSD → PCM conversion.

  3. Confirm your MScaler/DAVE input is manually set to Optical.
    Some devices do not auto-switch inputs.

  4. Check the Toslink cable connection and try another cable if possible.

Many thanks for this…issue resolved. It was point 2, I set DSD playback to PCM conversion. I will now do some listening and compare USB to Toslink :+1:
