There are AES to SPDIF converters and some are relatively inexpensive.
They won't be an 'ideal' solution, but would be functional…

I wonder if using a converter degrades the signal/timing.There are AES to SPDIF converters and some are relatively inexpensive.

@gefski , which unit are you using? Attero Tech? Are you capped at 24/96 or is it capable of outputting 24/192?

Yeah they might, but as a temp(?) work around it should at least provide functionality.I wonder if using a converter degrades the signal/timing.
yes kinda is the answer. I run AES into the dac so I don't need the Canare converter. Technically I am running AES into the Big Ben first then AES out to the dac and if needed it will act as a spdif converter for me too.Anyone running a poor man's AOIP setup?
Will the below work?
- Dante Virtual Soundcard
- Audinate Avio AES adapter

- Canare AES to SPDIF transformer

- SPDIF input on DAC?
Thanks
Is there a reason why doing 88.2kb/s is better than other bitrates?In my setup I'm running the Antelope LIVE Clock word clock.
And if I were to get a REAL wild-hair (and NEED to spend another 1K$+) I'd opt for a master clock to drive the LIVE word clock, which in turn feeds the 2 Mutec MC3's and the RedNet 3.
This word clock addition to the system was a slight improvement in overall SQ, enough so I kept the LIVE clock, but not as much as replacing the SMPS's in all 5 devices in the AOIP chain.
It does mean that changing the sample rate adds yet another step in the process.
Fortunately, I use the sample rate converter in JRiver so that all files output at 88.2KB/s, which precludes needing to fuss with the different sample rates of all the files in my library.

Curious, what is the proper way to change the sample rate in Dante Controller/Virtual Sound Card?There is nowadays another alternative to USB that has really been gaining traction - Pi2AES. Like Dante/AES, it appears to compare favorably to USB, even “repaired USB”. Lots of info on it over at a site that dare not be mentioned here by name. I haven’t used it and have no plans to, but believe it sidesteps one irritation of Dante - lack of automatic sample rate switching.
