Specifications

The DiO 2448 also supplies two CD-ROM analog audio headers internally,

with both popular formats supported. These provide a connection to the

analog output of your computer’s internal CD-ROM drive (if you have one

installed). Only one of these headers may be connected at a time. CD-ROM

analog audio may be monitored at the DiO 2448’s Analog output only and

may not be recorded. In order to retrieve data from an audio CD-ROM, we

recommend the use of a “CD Ripper” software program. These are widely

available programs (sometimes even available as shareware on the Internet)

that allow reading audio tracks directly from your CD-ROM and storing the

retrieved data to WAV format audio files. The resulting WAV format files

may be imported into most audio programs.

The DiO 2448 provides three sets of outputs: Optical S/PDIF, Coaxial

S/PDIF and Analog Audio. Any combination of these outputs may be

connected at any given time. The two S/PDIF outputs are wired in parallel

and therefore carry the same audio stream. The S/PDIF outputs may carry

data from a software application, or they may be used to monitor the audio

received at the S/PDIF inputs. On the other hand, the Analog Audio outputs

may carry a different audio stream than the S/PDIF outputs. The Analog

Audio outputs are connected to the output of an integrated digital mixer

controlled by the Windows Sound System, and are therefore more flexible

than the digital outputs.
