WyreStorm Essentials™ Dolby™ 5.1 Downmixer
SKU: EXP-CON-DAC-D$137.00
The WyreStorm EXP-CON-DAC-D is a Digital to analogue audio converter capable of taking up S/PDIF audio encoded as Dolby Digital 5.1 from a compatible coaxial or TOSLINK audio source and downmixing to analogue stereo. Additionally the switchable digital output allows the signal to be output in its original form or downmixed like the stereo RCA output.

AUDIO CONVERSION MADE EASY
If quick, reliable and cost-effective conversion of digital audio to analog is a requirement for your project, the EXP-CON-DAC-D is the perfect solution. Converting LPCM or Bitstream audio to stereo analogue for connection to legacy stereo audio systems or 2ch amplifiers.

DOLBY DOWN-MIXING
Licensed by Dolby Laboratories to convert 5.1 compressed bitstream from a surround sound source device such as Blu-Ray players, cable & satellite receivers or media devices, the EXP-CON-DAC-D properly downmixes the 6 channel audio stream to the stereo RCA outputs.

MULTIPLE I/O OPTIONS
The EXP-CON-DAC-D has the option to convert a digital signal from either S/PDIF coaxial or TOSLINK inputs using a simple input selection switch. Using the output selection control the unit can furthermore then output the same signal to the S/PDIF outputs as a loop-through of the original signal or as downmixed PCM stereo which can then be fed into an S/PDIF input of an audio system, mirroring the analogue stereo output.

USB POWERED
With installation flexibility in mind, the EXP-CON-DAC-D can be powered using the included 5v DC power supply (with included regional pin adaptors) or use the USB power cable to power the DAC-D from a USB power or peripheral port on a third party device, potentially saving a mains outlet.
