Q&A

Q

Crutchfield asked: Why did you buy this?

wanted optical to my DSP [ Jeffrey Aug 26, 2019 ]

For my TOS link cable, of course! [ The Engineer May 02, 2019 ]

Because I have a JL Audio VXi amp with optical inputs. Many of the reviews on Amazon also imply that the analog RCA inputs introduce unwanted noise, that the optical output does not. . [ DAVID Sep 16, 2018 ]

the factory system sounds poor so just hoping the digital signal is reasonably clean [ New User Nov 11, 2017 ]

I have a Helix DSP with optical in. This will simplify installation by only running one cable. [ Timothy Aug 12, 2017 ]

Any idea what the bit depth and sample rate is for the Toslink output?

This will send the audio quality that is is given. When using a factory CD/radio. The highest you will get is CD quality, so 16 bit/44.1 kHz.

How come the stereo shops don't sell you this from the get-go? they keep telling me I have a weak signal and I need to put a new deck in. I have already bought a bigger amp and it still hasn't fixed the problem. Now they're telling me I need to put in new door speakers in with a 4 channel amp. Sounds like they're really sticking it to me.

Will I still need to have a line out converter. Wanting to add 4 channel amp. And also mono amp replacing all factory speaker and sub?

[ Chris Dec 20, 2017 ]

When using a compatible PAC AmpPRO Amplifier Replacement Interface, no, you do not need to use a separate line output converter: https://www.crutchfield.com/g_304950/Vehicle-specific-Amp-Interfaces.html?tp=6348 For additional assistance and personalized recommendations, feel free to contact us directly by phone or through our online chat service: https://www.crutchfield.com/support/ContactUs.aspx
