RCA to HDMI

[Dino84]

I would like to connect a phono with RCA out to HDMI input on my audio receiver.

What AVR? It doesn't have ANY other inputs?

[Dino84]

yes but all the RCA inputs are in use & there are available HDMI inputs I can use

No optical? Optical is easy to convert to than HDMI for audio.

Well if you trying to connect a turntable, then you need a preamp as well. I would use the optical input as not a lot of devices off HDMI output just for audio. It says TV as that's what what most people would connect to it. It should just be AV1 in the input list. That said.

You could try to find a phono preamp with optical output, which seems to be hard to find from a quick google anyways, but that would do it. Less elegant but working solution would be simple phono preamp, and than a rca to digital convertor.

Looking at pics, you could go optical or digital coax.

I do have a phono preamp so the question is- which digital converter?

 

[getochkn]

Any one that does RCA to optical or toslink, in which Amazon is full of 1000's of them

The trick is to find rca to optical converter. The ones I see are the other way around but does it matter?

I must be missing something here. What I see on Amazon converts optical-or coax to rca, not the other way around. Can you cite a product in Amazon!?
