I would like to use the SPDIF input on my 1010 as an extra

interface so I can convert a 1/4" pre-fader out to this SPDIF?

Or - Am I wasting my time (aka - should I get another USB 2
channel recording interface)?

A Flying Cow would do the job nicely. If you need the channel,
its not a waste of time. If you only need input or only output,
a Flying Calf would be cheaper. You could also mix & match
Flying Calfs for input and output at different bitrates if it
is not important that both are 24bit, to save some
money.

Remember to sync to the sp-dif input then! Surely there is a reason,
but I wonder why the questionee has not considered an extra delta-card
....


Kind regards
