well i recently got my h701 installed using a set of rca's from my deck and now i am getting some background hum/noises.
they are there all the time but not that bad.
when playing a zero bit track with the h701 volume maxed and the hu volume down low it is very noticable.
i have heard it is not uncommon to have noise problems with the h701 using the analog inputs.
so i want to have a converter in the dash and run an optical cable back to the h701.
but i have heard the h701 must be plugged into an alpine HU for the optical to work, meaning just any old optical signal wont work.
is this true?
i am looking at changing over to the alpine 9860 and using that for the optical but i dont want to spend that money right now if i can avoid it.
i am pretty sure it is not my wiring since i have switched everything around once since i put the H701 in, and have been very careful about how my wires are ran.
and i dont think it is my amps since all my speakers do it, and each set of speakers if ran from a different amp.
sorry for the long winded description.
what i am really asking is can this be done (using a coax -> optical converter)
and if it can is there any converters that you would suggest?
thanks for taking the time to read this.
and all help would be greatly appreciated.
