Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a Luna II. From the description I've read that it comes with 1 stereo input and 1 stereo output. Same applies for the SP/DIF I/O.

Does that mean I have to go to an electronica shop to buy the necessary adaptors? Or are they in the box already?

Thanks for your info...

The card is equipped with a stereo pair (big jack) of analogue ins/outs as well as a pair of s/pdif i/o (mninijack)onboard (at the card's edge) so you don't need any additional boxes :smile: They are standard plugs so all you need are just standard cables. The digital cable should be 75Ohm for best results, though. There are also MIDI sockets - you get special cables to standard MIDI DIN sockets with thje card.

:grin: 'standard' in the sense that you can get it in every hifi departement as a 'mini-stereo to cinch' adapter.
The cables should indeed be good quality. A regular audio cable doesn't work. Maybe you have to listen closely to hear the crackles, but they will be there.
A video cable does the job as it's 75 Ohm, but certified quality cables would be best choice.

cheers, Tom

Oh, dear - yes, the mini jack was a nightmare one day at mine's :evil: Good quality cable is required for best work (75Ohm digital cable)
