I think it's a loss of time to tinkering with these chinese tinks, our MiSTers deserve quality, so I think the only quality-solutions left for Direct Video are FuryHD (maybe the 4 version) and the internal DAC of MiSTer Addons Saturn connector solution: https://misteraddons.com/products/miste ... s=11&_ss=c

^ These things have an Explore EP94Z3 / EP94Z3E. Basically the same as the EP94Z1E only newer and better.
I definitely like mine. The HDMI passthrough is nice, too. Might be able to find one on AliEx for a few $ less, too
Except i bought one very similar and toslink output wasn't working. Again stop counting on garbage, it's better for your health...
