Direct Optical mode - How to

[DesertEagleAZ]

Thanks for the insight Alan, that makes a lot of sense. Looks like I need to order a bit of extra stuff from Amazon and will be able to send the Dialog back once it's here. I'll report back here how the two Golds are working for me with Airplay 2 then.

If it helps, I have this splitter which is cheap and plasticky but works upto 96kHz.
Many sellers of this generic device at many price points but it’s a good cheap way of testing out the system.
There are then plenty more expensive items with better build quality should you feel the need to update.

Thank you. I’ve seen that exact item on Amazon.de. Will order it with a couple others to see how they work!
