Hi everyone! Perhaps people on this list have had to deal with this situation. I have a collection of DAT tapes here so its time to sort through them all an sample what needs to be sampled to the computer and call it quits. I sold my original Denon DAT recorder some 10 years ago and I'm glad I did because I got a great price for it then. I purchased a replacement Tascam dm-30 MKII a few days ago for a very reasonable sum and I'm impressed with what it does so here's the problem. My computers (Apple Macs) have fibre optic digital in and out (the type you'll see say on a minidisc recorder where the 3.5MM input and output audio jacks double as digital input and output audio jacks). The DAT recorder has either XLR digital in and out or RCA digital in and out, not quite appropriate for what I need. So can a conversion box be built or bought perhaps to overcome this problem? If need be then I'll look at getting another sound device and (if I have to) use the trashbox (PC) <smile> to do the sampling if I have to use some sort of PCI card for the sound device, does anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps there's an external device of some sort which plugs into USB or firewire which will accept digital optical in and out and will work with a Mac as well as a PC. Thanks in Advance
