SPDIF Switch

April 16, 2009 by Caleb Kraft 58 Comments

switch

When [linux-works] found himself needing a switch that could convert coax to opto, he made one. The main chip is a cd4052 cmos analog switch, which he says is really cheap. The rest is pretty self explanatory.  This setup can switch between 4 different inputs as well as do the coax to opto conversion.
