Hi all,
I am sorry if this is a noobish question, but I am struggling to find a way out of this, so had to ask:
My brother bought me a DAC from abroad, as a surprise gift. It is a rather generic one, and I am not familiar with the make. I tried connecting it to my laptop, which has most of my music, but the DAC has only two input modes - Optical and a single Co-axial female. It has a switch for these input changes.
However, my laptop has only a standard 3.5mm out and also an HDMI out. I have no idea how to use the DAC for these output points. Is there maybe a 3.5 to co-axial converter? or a 3.5 to optical? or an HDMI to optical/co-axial converter?
Any suggestions on how I can use the DAC with my laptop?
Thanks,
EF
