- I recently was involved with a electronics project
- in which I took CD-player output and converted it to standard digital
- I thought that this would be cool to use with my Sony CDP-515,
- but I can't seem to find an optical connector for the CD player that I
- can convert to a TTL or CMOS level to use with my electronics.
-
- Anyone know anything about this?
-
- The only source I know of in the United States for this connector is
- SMK, an honorable Japanese company. You just have to find their local
- distributor. Unfortunately, they may not have samples and the lead
- time is something like 12 weeks. One thing you might try to do is buy
- a connector from one of the tiny audiophile companies that advertise
- D/A converters in Absolute Sound or Stereophile.

- Just remember that we live in the Third World as far as consumer
- electronics go. It is almost impossible to buy the ingredients of
- consumer electronics products here at competitive prices.
