Firewire/USB to S/PDIF or AES/EBU I/O?
I've been toying with the idea of replacing my Delta 1010 with a MOTU
24 i/o, to have a full 24 channels of analog I/O. The thing is, unlike the Delta the MOTU box does not have any digital I/O capability, and I'd still need that for digital transfers of stereo material. It seems you can't swing a dead cat without hitting some new firewire or USB box that gets you mic preamps, 8 ins/outs, that sort of thing, and there are a ton of analog stereo converters that utilize USB. This is not what I need though if I got the MOTU box, I'd just need a way to get a digital stereo feed in and out of the DAW. My old studio computer (a 386) has a DAL "digital only" card that does this, but it's an ISA card which obviously my new computer does not have. There might be a PCI solution (such as one of the cheap Delta cards) but I don't want to take up a PCI slot and interrupt just for that. Maybe I've missed some products and I realize it's not a big market, but does somebody make a stereo "digital only" audio interface that works with USB or Firewire? Thanks, Analogeezer |

Close http://www.esi-pro.com/viewProduct.php?pid=11&page=1 Close enough actually. I'm getting a triple interface card pretty soon with RJ(something), Firewire and USB 2.0 so that should work well. Now if I can just remember what interface I was drooling over that had ATAT I/O. Thanks, Bob -- "Things should be described as simply as possible, but no simpler." A. Einstein |

I went through this to get a Grace V3 into a Powerbook without bringing a 002R around. I finally found an MAudio Firewire Audiophile that works great at up to 24/96. There are other solutions, but most seem to be limited to 16 or 48. If you just need to get a digital signal into the PC/laptop, the M-Audio Transit will do the job (for optical) at really low cost; it is powered from the USB port. If you need to go both ways, the Audiophile USB (powered from a wall wart) or Firewire Audiophile (powered from the Firewire port) are the way to go.
