IF so a cmopany called opcode (www.opcode.com) produce a device called
the DATPort
which is a digital input/ouput device. This may be the ideal solution
for you - no
MIDI, XLR, COAX or anything other than 1 input and 1 output.
Looks interesting, but unfortunately has no optical

OK, while we're on the topic, i have a crappy SB PCI 64V, is there a really
cheap way i can get an optical output from it or do i have to buy a whole
new card?
You could tap into the digital data stream going to the input pins on the DAC.

MD has a sample rate converter though so don't worry.
Yeah, but that still means another loss in quality. It's
probably not much, but if you take it to the extreme,
Analog - Wav - MP3 -

Creative makes an add on card that has both optical in and out (TOSLINK)
it's about $50 and it works with both live and live value..
Yes, but the SBLive! sound system isn't that great because to get 0dB from the
output you have to overdrive the mixer which results in distortion.

1. Is the digital port a coax or TOSLink one ?
3.5mm miniplug - same as on a portable MD unit.
2. Are there any restrictions on the sample rate of the port,
like the "48 KHz only" bug in the current Terratec DMX drivers ?

Oh great, I'd have to buy another cable then,
but at least it's not coaxial.
