Why does my amplifier not recognise the digital output from the Overture 192 audio interface?
Normally there is only one reason for this – sampling rates. The Overture 192 Audio Interface is likely to be more capable than your amplifier in terms of the supported sampling rates over a digital connection. Generally, consumer Hi-Fi tends to only support digital signals up to 96kHz sampling rate at best(!) – some older pieces of kit could even hit their limit at 48kHz. The Overture 192 Audio Interface supports up to 192kHz sampling rate on its digital outputs, mainly for newer and Pro-Audio applications. If your amplifier doesn’t play the digital music from your Overture 192 Audio Interface, then lower the sample rate of the Overture 192’s outputs and try again. It’s also worth checking the “bleedin’ obvious” too – it’s very easy to put an S/PDIF optical cable into an output on your amplifier rather than an input! On some amplifiers there may also be an involved process required to activate these digital inputs. If your amplifier supports an electrical digital input on RCA connecto
