...this seems to be specific for the Phantom's....anyone with experience with Date "systems"...? With an adapter like this can I connect my Streamer Toslink to this adapter and then directly to the Ethernet port on my Phantom? Can I connect to a network switch instead? Do I need any sw to configure stuff...?
My use case is more connect everything over Ethernet and stop using the Toslink connector...I don't have issues with latency, etc...
I've use this adapter over 2 years. This adapter is a generic Dante receiver only device, it receive Dante audio signal and convert to toslink signal, and it can use on any device which support toslink input. I've also buy one adapter for my KEF LS50W to receive sound.
I've write a introduction for this use case in my blog, sorry that it is in Traditional Chinese only, you may use google translate this page to get the idea: https://blog.nick.hk/?p=644#comment-26088
Although all Dante device use ethernet port and network switch for connection, you cannot just plug it in streamer to play, it don't work this way. The simple idea is, you plug all Dante devices to the same ethernet network, using normal network switch, one of the Dante device should be transmitter (output sound) and this adapter be receiver. You need to download the free software "Dante Controller" from Dante web site, and use Dante Controller to setup the "route", i.e. you assign each channel which device be the sound output and which device to receive the sound. Please visit Dante web site for detail.
I see you are from Hong Kong, @nicknick, I wish to visit again soon! Now that DOS2 supports Direct Optical Mode, will that simplify your existing setup in any way?
