Question about Audison bit one (digital processor's)

Anyone out there with a audison bit.1 who runs digital have any advice for a head unit? Im pretty sure he head unit needs to have an optical digital out to run to the bit.1.

Any advice would be great.





(IM DOING THIS TOTALLY DIGITAL, NOT ANALOG)

 

I'm running the BitOne.1, but I'm using a carPC. As for headunit's that have a digital output, I believe there are only 2 or 3. I can't remember them off the top of my head but I believe Alpine might be one of them (with the addon hub thingy).

Maybe someone can chime in, but you can always check out DIYMA while you're waiting. There are quite a few people using (or looking to use) a Bit 1.

One thing to remember, the BitOne.1 can only handle 48 kHz and 24bit digital inputs (max) stereo PCM signals. It cannot process stereo DTS or Dobly Digital (AC3) signals. It starts having a seizures when it gets anything greater than that (believe me, I've tried). So make sure whatever headunit you find can be set to 48 kHz/24bits.

 

Thanks a lot for the response. I was told (by car audio store) that the Alpine decks with optical output will only work with the Alpine processor.

I dont know if that is true or not.

Anyone else know?

 

Head unit wont matter. These are the inputs on the Bitone.

8 independent high-level channels (with automatic summing capability) or 6 independent analog low-level channels
2 analog low-level stereo auxiliary inputs
1 optical digital input
1 electric coaxial digital input
1 high-level momentary audio interrupt input (with Mute IN) for use with mobile phone or navigation systems

With analog inputs, any head unit will be able to be used.

 

im doing this totally digital though, not analog. So head unit does matter

 

bump...

 

never mind. the Alpine IVA W910 will do what I need.

 

You could get a USB to optical device and use anything with a USB output
