Does Stage 3 have S/PDIF output capability?

[mrvegas]

For living room use, I want to plug my Nord Stage 3 into a pair of Meridian 3100 digital and powered speakers. A guy on the Meridian forum said it would work if the Nord had S/PIDF digital output? Is that possible? What kind of cable would be necessary? The plug on the speakers is basically a dual RCA digital input for left and right. Please advise.

Hi Robert,

I guess it could work with a analog to digital convert like this one:

Can be found on AliExpress. Maybe there are companies who sell "better" quality converters.

Then you need a cable like this to connect your Nord Stage to the converter.

To connect the analog to digital convert to your speakers, you connect a spdif/digital audio cable from the output to 1 of the 2 digital inputs.
1 digital spdif output consist of a stereo signal.
