Digital Coaxial Audio to Analog Audio converter?

[RocketFast321]

I have a very nice Panasonic DVD player.(dvd-s25) And the analog sound ports went out. But when I connect the RCA to the digital coaxial audio port, I hear sound. Of course very low and all out of wack.

Long story short

I searched google up and down and i can't find a converter that will go from digital coaxial to analog RCA(s).

I hope you didn't do what I just think you did......................

Are you saying....you connected an RCA cable to the digital coax on the DVD player and pluged it into some analog RCA inputs?

There is no passive cable that takes a digital signal and converts it to analog.
You need a DAC (digital to analog conversion). These can eaither be purchased as a stand alone thing, or can be featured in other equipment.

What did you have the DVD player origionally hooked up to? If it's a receiver, chances are it has a digital coax input, in which case you can just plug the dvd player's digital coax output to the receivers digital coax input.

Yea i did what you think i did. But where can I find a DAC? I don't have a receiver, well i got one but it was made in 87. I had the player connected to a TV.

Stand alone dac's can run around 100$+.

This is an asian maker who sells different DAC's http://www.diykits.com.hk/index.html
Although, in your case it might just be cheaper to get a receiver with one built in (probably be cheaper in most cases).

Eaither that, or get the DVD player replaced / fixed if you don't want to add equipment and just keep it connected directly to the TV.
