Cheap SPDIF Converter
I have an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card that has analog and SPDIF inputs and
outputs. For one project, I need to use all four inputs as analog inputs. Other than my Otari DAT recorder, I can't think of a piece of equipment that I can connect SPDIF to let me connect four analog inputs. Help me be creative in coming up with a cheap analog-to-SPDIF converter. Super high fidelity is not necessary, but noise is important. |

Even though the heads may be toast, they will still perform as Analogue to SPDIF converters when switched to Monitor. Why not use the Otari? Gareth. |

If you can find a Midiman (M-Audio) Flying Calf, that would work. It's one of the least expensive A/D converters made, but it was discontinued several years ago. Or the Flying Calf (which is both A/D and D/A). For some reason there seems to be only one Cow on eBay at the moment, for about 4x what I think it should go for, and several Flying Calfs for at least twice what they should go for. Maybe it's a classic. Who'd have thunk it? Just as well to use your DAT recorder. -- "Today's production equipment is IT based and cannot be operated without a passing knowledge of computing, although it seems that it can be operated without a passing knowledge of audio." - John Watkinson http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com - useful and interesting audio stuff |
