I have the Xitel Storm soundcard with the digital out and it works great for mp3 to md recording...One drawback though.... the Xitel storm(and probably the mdport-dg1) use the Aureal Chipset and drivers. Aureal and the Aureal 3D name have gone bankrupt and are currently being bought up by Creative Labs (Soundblaster). Updated drivers are tough to find and the Company/Customer Service/Tech Support is non-existant. That is my two cents....
