Title: Optical audo Intel NUC NUC5i5RYH i5-5250U
Post by: Gio300ZX on March 23, 2020, 04:08:53 pm

Hi, does the Intel NUC NUC5i5RYH i5-5250U have an optical SPDIF output? I'm looking at one to install JRiver on as a media server. If not, any suggestions for a budget one which will take the DDR3 / SDD from my nice but noisy Asus VivoPC? Thanks.

I bought one and no, it doesn't. Unlike my old Asus Vivo PC (now on Ebay) which did. However, I now realise this was a stupid question because the whole idea of this is to use it to drve my Meridian Director DAC which is, d'oh, connected by USB in any case! I will use the SPDIF input for the director to take the SPDIF output from my Humax STB.
