    SPDIF
    A digital connector standard developed by Sony and Philips that is popular in audio equipment. Thanks to it, data between devices that record sound digitally can be sent without the need for conversion to analog form, which ensures high quality of the signal. Typically, the SPDIF connector is in the form of an RCA type socket.
    you have the answer.. at your fingertips
    Good luck

    you take the cable that you have surely used so far - 2Chinch---stereo mini jack. You plug the sound card into the SPDIF socket - you turn on the digital output in its settings. And one of the Chinchas will be a digital signal that you connect to the receiver (Coaxial) - nothing will happen if you mistake the Chincha.

    in the receiver you also need to turn on this input and how it is different in different equipment! [sometimes auto-detects]

    that was exactly the answer I was looking for
    I now have a regular chinch connected but I also borrowed a special cable from an American audioquest company and I'll see what the difference is - maybe I'll squeeze something else out of my vsx-D814
    thanks for the replies and best regards

    detected everything :) and it's ok, only this cable from my friend is too short :(
    I don't want to deal with boxes

    SPDIF COAXIAL is a 75 ohm connection like a TV antenna. Just buy some antenna cable and two cinch plugs. On ordinary shielded cable, it will also work if it can be better ...

    Hello
    so why these expensive coaxial cables for several hundred zlotys if a simple chinch is enough, or as irek2 says a piece of ajzola antenna and two chinches for a total of 3 zlotys, and the difference between the signal for 180 zlotys and the one for 3 zlotys will be so inaudible to our ears. This is probably the propaganda of large corporations to make money on the so-called. audiophiles.
    After connecting with coaxial (mine cost PLN 15 - chinche :) The noise in the speakers has really diminished. I checked them so that finally a flashing inscription appeared on my pioneerek - OVERLOAD and turned off - I turned it on after a while (much quieter) and it was ok.
    Hello everyone and thanks for the interview

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the differences between SPDIF and coaxial connections in audio equipment. SPDIF, developed by Sony and Philips, allows for digital audio transmission without analog conversion, typically using RCA connectors. Users can connect their sound card's SPDIF output to a receiver's coaxial input using a standard RCA cable, as both utilize a 75-ohm connection. While some participants question the necessity of expensive coaxial cables, others report improved audio quality with better cables. The conversation also highlights the importance of enabling the correct input settings on both the sound card and receiver for optimal performance.
