Hello there,
I looking to buy a XMC-1 Gen3 as a central nervous system for my setup (Oled TV 4K, box (freebox), players (chromecast, apple tv 4K, ...), vinyl (Audio Technica ATLP3 via Project Phono Box DS2 USB to "optical in")). So far so good, BUT, my audio system is Devialet based (Phantom Gold x4 via Ethernet to Dialog with an optical input where i will plug the optical cable from the XMC-1) which means that i don't care about all the speakers ouputs ! I only need to use an optical out !
So my question is the following : will I be able to make all those different sound sources go threw the optical out of the XMC-1 ??
Thank you very much for your time. Emeric.

Thank you very much for your time. Emeric. I use the optical out on my XMC-1 to feed an Emotiva DC-1 in my loft, it delivers signal from every input I’ve used, though I’m not sure I’ve listened to the USB input there. I find however, that the signal level is very low, I have to run both the DC-1 and the Airmotive 5 wide open to get just normal volume. Though we don’t know for sure how the G3 will work.

Thank you for your answer AudioHTIT (sorry for the late reply, i was out of range for some time) !
This audio volume output via the optical cable is quite an issue !! Do you think it is like HDMI cables of low quality ? I mean when the quality of those is poor, a lot of the audio signal is lost, i had quite an improvement when i upgraded my HDMI cables in my setup... Do you think it will be the same in this case ? In optical, quality is paramount, do you think that if you / I were to use cables like "Audioquest Diamond", Wireworld Supernova 7" or "Atlas Mavros Optical", the volume output would increase significantly ?
Thank you again for your time.
