Hi, I have been having such question for a long time. Does it mean, if I use
MDS-PC2, I can have optical out from the unit to my PC??? I have Creative
SB Live Platinum 5.1 that has both SPDIF and optical out. So, can I record
songs back from Minidisc to PC using optical? and will it turns to a wave
file???
Thanks
