METRA CS-DAC2 Digital TOSLINK Coaxial to RCA Audio Converter 24-bit 96kHz

SKU CH-2WFS-8Y6R3

Converts coaxial or TOSLINK digital audio to analog stereo RCA with a 24-bit 96 kHz decoder

  • Converts digital coaxial or TOSLINK to analog stereo RCA
  • Select input source with a simple slider switch
  • Decodes multi-channel PCM and LPCM to left and right channels
  • Supports sample rates from 32 kHz through 96 kHz
  • Electromagnetic noise-free transmission for clean audio output

Converts Digital Audio to Analog RCA

The METRA CS-DAC2 accepts coaxial or TOSLINK digital signals and outputs stereo analog audio through RCA jacks. A front slider selects the active input. It decodes 24-bit S/PDIF streams including multi-channel, PCM and LPCM sources. The unit ships with a power supply and manual.

Check Your Source and Cabling

Verify that your source device provides a coaxial or TOSLINK S/PDIF output rather than HDMI, USB or proprietary digital audio. Confirm you have the matching digital cable for the chosen input. The converter requires mains power from the included supply, so ensure a nearby socket is available. It outputs line-level stereo only, not amplified speaker signal.

Replaces Basic DACs or Built-In Outputs

This unit upgrades from a TV or media player with no analog output, or from a simpler converter limited to 48 kHz sampling. It supports sample rates of 32, 44.1, 48, 64, 88.2 and 96 kHz for broader compatibility. The jump is worth it when you need electromagnetic-noise-free transmission and multi-channel decoding to stereo in a compact gadget. Not for users requiring surround sound output, headphone amplification or volume control on the device.

Questions about this item

Does the CS-DAC2 include the cables I need to connect it, or must I buy them separately?

The package contains the converter unit, a power supply and the manual. TOSLINK and coaxial cables are not included and must be purchased separately.

The specs list several sample rates; which one should I set my source to for the best quality?

The converter accepts 32, 44.1, 48, 64, 88.2 and 96 kHz. Choose the highest rate your source supports up to 96 kHz for maximum fidelity.

What does the 24-bit 96 kHz rating mean when I hook this up to my amplifier?

It means the decoder processes incoming S/PDIF streams up to 24-bit depth and 96 kHz sampling, outputting a stereo analogue signal that preserves that resolution.
