Genos Digital Out

Hi all.

Anyone have used digital out RCA pin of Genos?! Have you used a Digital to Analog converter?! Which one? (I heard is a better sound on that RCA pin, and as I read on the manual is the same signal from Main line outs).

Thanks.

Hi Vali,

the Digital output of the Genos is normally used to connect it digitally to a PC/DAW. This requires an external Audio Interface, which has a coaxial digital input (connected to the digital Out of the Genos), and the Interface is digitally connected to the PC/Mac via USB.

To connect the Genos to analogue Inputs (e. g. to a Mixing Console or to a selfpowered ("active") PA system), in my opinion it would make no sense to use the Digital Out of the Genos followed by an external D/A Converter box.

The internal D/A Converters of the Genos are of a good quality (much better as the A/D Converters of Tyros models. :)

BTW: The Genos Digital Out will NOT be affected by the Master Volume knob!

Best regards,
Chris

Yes Chris, I know about Master Volume.
But even if I have to use a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC), I heard is much better than main line out signal.
I only want to use it on my home studio, not to gigs. I have an Yamaha AG06 Audio Interface (which does not have Digital in) and I thought using digital out of Genos through a DAC to my AI will bring a better quality sound to my HS7 monitors.

Vali

Hi Vali.
I use the SPDIF Digital Out of Genos only for Record in Cubase 9.5.
The Sample Rate of Genos SPDIF is 44khz.
So.. I use the analog Main Out of Genos in my Studio Setup however I use the Inputs of my Audio Interface RME Fireface UCX.
After tests I found that the analog In/Out of this Audio Interface is much better of my console (soundcraft efx12) with much better signal and Stereo Image.
Therefore I have connect the Genos analog Outs direct in my RME Analog Inputs and from the RME Outs direct in my Genelec 8040.
In this case the signal is very good for a clean Mix etc.
I think ins this case (Genos), the SPDIF is good for Record and not for hearing because we have not Volume Control.
Also your AG06 Audio Interface does not include SPDIF In..
The RCA that inlude is analog in and not Digital in.
The SPDIF use one RCA connector and not two..
Best Regards.
