Can any one post an image, or few, of Turtle Beach Pinnacle SPDIF connector, or an schematic?
I want to make my own.

I cant find any 'good' images on Google Image Search.

Hi people. I have interest about it too. Does anybody know? And I would like to find pinouts scheme of digital connector for Crystal CS8425 daughterboard. I tried but nothing found yet. As I understood this daughterboard converts digital signal from TB WT to TTL S/PDIF standard and transmits it to TB digital Input Monitor. I can't find pinouts for this connector. Where can I search it?
And if somebody knows tell please where we can download TB's own manual. I'm going to read about MIDI and digital sound routes at this board which are possible in Windows and pure DOS.
Thank you very much!

Yes sure. Settings of Jumper 1. I mean I don't know which contact must be OUT and which must be IN on 3,5 stereo jack. And I'm not sure does "MIC" SPDIF have signal amplitude TTL or COAX 0,5V? All this information should be in manual. OK, anyway it's easy to identify.

What about second question? "Vertical" connector for digital I/O board based on Crystal CS8425 chip.

But besides external SPDIF source this option also enables route from its own WT exactly through this Crystal transmitter-daughterboard. I have interest about pinouts of this connector. Did somebody see any information about it in manuals or in the www?

Revisiting an older thread -
The signal amplitude at the pins is COAX 0.5V.
Manual does not state which pin is out and which pin is in. But that can be checked easily.

Also, you can use one of the Gigabyte SPDIF I/O brackets. They have no circuitry associated with the COAX I/O
Like that you regain use of MIC.

I personally never found any info on this.
