There are lots of nuances concerning digital signal routing, and if something goes wrong, you might end up frying something.

You need to carefully study all the papers concerning digital input/output on all the cards mentioned. Different manufacturers used different voltages of S/PDIF signal. So if you just plug it into a Pinnacle, it might work, or not work, or even get something toasted if, for instance, a voltage of 5v is sent somewhere where a 0.5v is only accepted.

So before the proper investigation the answers would be:

1) It might work if you find the correct signals from TBP to send into this bracket, AND that signals have voltage(s) acceptable by the bracket;

2) see 1.

3) If this is a mini-Toslink jack (check your manual), you then use an optical Toslink-miniToslink cable (like http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/1m … link-cable.html) to send optical signal from Hoontech bracket to your SB0460. That way it would work, provided you already found a way to make the bracket work with your TBP.

Remember that the two jacks you got on your bracket are not for S/PDIF. They are for AES/EBU, which is different.

You might want to consult PARUS, who is notorious for his past and present experience with S/PDIF interconnections.

Not sure about no 1) and 2) - could fry things. And No 3) is easy; use a standard audio cable with 3.5mm mini-jacks at either end, and use 3.5mm mini-jack -> RCA converters where necessary - like these:

And BTW, that Hoontech digital I/O bracket looks identical to my Hoontech DSP24 bracket - looks like you can interchange with Hoontech cards...

@ Bristlehog

As i saw Pinnacle bracket is just a bare cable and a connector at the end.
I saw some Asus motherboard ones that are bare, maybe i should get them and modify.

Also i see, i have those cables and jacks already.

@ Jaws

Yeah they are the same.

Ive got an cable only SPDIF and have attached it to Pinnacle.

How do i get the XG player to output digital signal i can record?

I don't know exactly, but usually it is done via soundcard setup utility/control panel.

I only have recording settings.
