I have a digital mixer with s/pdif output and inputs. Would I be able to use this device to interface it digitally to my laptop. to

I think the answer is yes, in theory, but I am not certain without trying it out.

the only digital input is USB, with an asynchronous DAC, that works really nice...Thing is that USB ports on most computers are really bad in noise and power fluctuations... sooo.. solution is the Wyrd USB decrapifier, from Schiit.. works wonders.. personally owned and intensively tested and compared with CD player level of sound fidelity (in fact sounds fantastic)As for the DVD coax, or sorts, you can use receiver's analog RCA inputs without any fear, they are excellent and I bet you will never feel a difference from coax, optical, HDMI, or anything else...

You can use it as a DAC for your PC or laptop even a tablet if it has the optical in or you can use it via the usb cable too. You can also connect it to a receiver that has an optical port too. Check irivers website too they got all the specs up there.

Have you tested the digital (S/PDIF) IN and OUT on linux as well? On Ubuntu 11.04, the analog connections seem to work great, but I'm not seeing an option for digital in Sound Preferences. Wondering if upgrading to a distro in the 3.x kernel series would help.

Yes, but don't buy this interface. Buy a Focusrite. This interface is cheaper for the amount of features, but it is junk. The A-D converters sound terrible, the preamps are terrible, and if you have a problem the customer service is nonexistent.

Not sure I understand the question. If you're asking if the USB interface is outboard the answer is no. The USB cable plugs directly into the back of the board so there are no "middleman" devices to convert digital to analog and vice versa (unlike Behringers Xenyx USB boards which have an external USB device). You will need to plug your speakers or headphones to the mixer in order to hear sound though. The output options are xlr, 1/4", and yes, RCA or "the red and white plugs".

I don't know, bro. I only use this MIDI Interface with my laptop and keyboard. I had never tried any other device.

Yes. You can. However, I wouldn't recommend using this interface. It's hit or miss. It could last forever or be DOA I went threw 3 of these units. All malfunctioned, and Tascam support is horrible. Good luck either way.

Hi, this isn't a USB mixer, you may connect it to your computer with a USB interface.

I never attempted to do that since there is no external port for such connection on my mixer. i suggest that you do your external motoring via your computer and iPad.

Depends on what you're doing. For mixing music from left to right and right to left this is all you need (and a laptop, and you will be better off also purchasing VDJ full, I'm sure this device gives you a good discount on buying that software). If you also need to attach mics (more than one) and also want to mix from CDs, then you'd also need a channel mixer.

I am using it to record with my Surface tablet I have not tried to hook it up to a mixer but it has rca outputs.

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think that would be an issue if you used the software included. Seeing as it's a USB connection and converts the analog signal through the unit it should be OK. I'm not a computer expert though, so I could be wrong. Just my thoughts.

It'll take any analog audio signal in XLR form and convert it to digital (that's why it's bulky around the USB connector part). Beware, though, this product adds a bit of noticeable hiss and noise to your signal, so you might not want to use it for a final mix if you're outputting from a mixer.

From what I understand from your question... The USB output should include everything coming from the front end of the mixer. All inputs should feed through to the USB interface however I do not use the USB for my purposes

I believe this device is only intended to convert output to analog stereo output so that the audio can be delivered to 2 channel systems. The only thing that I have seen on the consumer market that would take 2 channel analog input to digital PCM has been some computer sound cards from Creative Labs, but I don't think they make them anymore.

Hi Gloria, I don't have any "top-of-the-line" keyboard, however, when I tried to get hook up my keyboard to it and run the mixer to the laptop I didn't hear a thing through the system or the main mix/phones on the mixer. I'm guessing you may need a Direct Input (DI) Box to pass the keyboard through first before routing to the mixer. Other than that, yes you should be able to do what you thinking of doing.Hope this helps. :)
