    Subject: New to the list
    --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: Christopher Scoles <crscoles@yahoo.com> Hi everyone. I am new to your list. I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Chris. I have had a Sony ES 910 for years and am now finally starting to build out the system. I recently picked up an XDP-210EQ. I looked for a 4000 for a while, but they seem to be very hard to come by. My first question is regarding the XA-D210/211 adaptor. I have been trying to pick one up for a while. There were two on ebay just recently, but I lost out on both auctions. Anyway, I been through your archives researching alternatives to the adaptor. I was specifically looking for the actual pinout for the plug. I know there are three different channels, VCC, Data, and Ground. What I couldnt find is which ring on the plug is which? The reason I ask is because, I found this converter, http://cgi.ebay.com/Audio-Authority-977T-977TPO-Digital-Converter_W0QQitemZ5805001032QQihZ008QQcategoryZ14968QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem. I believe it will work if you could get a cable with the correct plug configuration on the head unit end. Any thoughts, opinions, or help would be appreciated. Thanks. Chris

    --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: SHNSX@comcast.net Chris, I was in the same boat as you about the XA-D211, I called everywhere and scoured the net, got the same answer from all "sorry we don't sell that anymore". You just have to be prepared to pay the premium on ebay, do the last minute snyper thing. I got lucky, I bought a second C90 for a spare, and the adapter came with it , and it was not even disclosed in the auction. Good luck finding one. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Christopher Scoles <crscoles@yahoo.com> > --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: Christopher Scoles <crscoles@yahoo.com> > > Hi everyone.

I've included a snippet of the schematic below that details the specific information related to the XA-D210/D211. Looks like Pin1=VCC (+5v), Pin2=Data, and Pin3=Grd. This probably means, that for the XA-D210, the TIP is +5v, the next in ring is DATA, and the shoulder is Ground (connection closest to the plastic). You should verify this with a Volt meter and optionally a oscilloscope. As far as a digital to toslink converter, you might also want to take a look at your local Radio Shack. They used to have a number of devices for converting. Seems like they were around $20. Best of luck! Matt Dralle Emacs!

    Subject: Re: XA-D210 and XA-D211 Pinouts
    Thanks Matt, I contacted MCS a while ago, they don't ship outside the UK. I have no idea about the Danish company. My girlfriend lives in Germany, so I will probably go that route if I can't figure something out. The reason I chose the Audio Authority one was because it was the only one that runs off 12v DC. Everything else seems to be 6V-9V. I figured it would be fairly easy to wire it to turn on with the head unit instead of finding a cigarette lighter power adapter or something of that sort. ----- Original Message ---- From: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 2:53:54 PM Subject: XDP4000X-List: XA-D210 and XA-D211 Pinouts At 05:13 AM 8/29/2006 Tuesday, you wrote: --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: Christopher Scoles <crscoles@yahoo.com> Hi everyone.

    Subject: Re: XA-D210 and XA-D211 Pinouts
    --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com> 6-9v is actually what you want. You've already got 5v coming from the C90 for powering the XA-D211. That should be sufficient to power the other devices. That way you don't have to mess with extra power and how to turn it on and off.

    Subject: Slightly off-thread, + - 12v power supply
    --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: "Jim Hunton" <jim@zagtech.com> Sorry for the slightly off-thread question but here goes. Ive been unsuccessfully looking for a +-12 volt power supply that uses +12v as its source. I need this to power a few OP Amp based circuits in one of my cars. Do any list members know where to find one of these? Thanks, Jim
