New A-EON Music Card for Classic Amigas

[UberFreak]

The point of SPDIF is to use an external (usually superior) DAC.
If this module does AtoD I dont see the point.
Why go through analog at all? just keep it digital all the way to the output, thats how I like it

@Amigakit:
Do you have any specs on the SPDIF output?
Will it support 24bit/96Khz or even 24/192 (provided the source is of the same specs, of course)?

I suspected as much. Nonetheless, the audio path between the decoder and the S/PDIF is still much shorter and should held reduce the noise over an analogue output.

The degradation caused by D/A -> A/D -> D/A again is far greater than minor noise that might be added to the analog out.
Too bad there's no real digital path, I thought about building an A4000 music streamer.
Most of the content I listen to is FLAC at 16-24bits, ranging from 44.1Khz up to 192Khz.

Guess I'll stick with a PC for music playback

That board looks like a generic Chinese product which can be had for a few bucks so the only trick is to interface it to the Amiga it seems.

Nice!
