Thibault,
Your thoughts are correct. Transferring data from a minidisc deck with
optical out to a soundcard with optical in is as good as any other way, and
better than some. Someone on this list just advertised a Sharp MD-R2 for
$120 which is a great deal and it has optical in and out. Then just get a
sound card with optical in (I use a Hoontech Yamaha XG card with a DBI
digital bracket) and a cable and you are in business. I use that for my
recordings I make in the field, and it works great. Any good sound card with
digital capabilities would work, but the Hoontech is one of the least
expensive. To get to the next level where you have 44.1Khz capabilities (the
Hoontech is 48Khz as are most consumer sound cards) you would have to spend
hundreds of dollars (US) more.
