"PenaL":
I have an ordinary laptop-pc 4G ram / 500 G hard-disc with several USB
channels and win 7, but not digital connectors at all. I'd like to record
and playback at least one stereo-pair wav 44.1 /16 bit digital audio
signal for editing them with some digital-audio software.
What kind of tools or converter I should buy to build an S/P-DIF or
AES-EBU digital I/O connectors to match them straigh to USB 2.0 channel?
There's several audio-card for sale which includes a lot of different
other actions, but on this moment I just only need some kind of
"converter", AES/EBU or S/P dif to USB.

Tascam 144 mK11 appears to do what you require at no great expense.

IF you want to bother with Tascamīs driver policy...
Remember, they did NOT release Win7 drivers for the first generation USB
interfaces (US-122 etc.), but suggested to just buy a newer model. Not so
cool for stuff, thatīs only about 3 years old and the hardware could keep
working several more years.
And the probability is high, that they will act that way again. :-\
