Default low cost spdif compatible preamps

Does anyone here know if all preamps with coaxial digital inputs
support s/pdif? I would like to save money and buy and older preamp
with at least one digital input, but I'm not sure if I can connect
every preamp to my computer spdif, coaxial output. How many standards
are there for digital audio inputs in the last 15 years?

thanks,
Jeff

Of course I can't promise that all preamp supports s/pdif.

My audio card (I think its name is something like "SoundBlaster Live
value") in my PC has an s/pdif coaxial output. It will deliver a 48
kHz s/pdif signal that my DAT or Amplifier can decode properly. If I
recall correctly there are no SCMS-protection bits set in the digital
stream.

I think that the standard of s/pdif includes all three (32, 44.1 & 48
kHz) sampling format so I would be very surprise if you encounter an
equipment with s/pdif input that doesn't decode 48 kHz.
