DAT-heads Digest #926, Volume #7 Mon, 21 Aug 06 18:50:01 EDT Contents: DAT to laptop spdif interface (Scott Seeley) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Scott Seeley Subject: DAT to laptop spdif interface Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2006 19:48:10 -0400 I am looking for a digital audio interface to get music from DAT (coax out's) into my laptop. I obviously want them to be bit-for-bit copies (no unnecesary resampling). Will a USB interface do this? I've been researching on the net and on dat-heads but am finding mixed replies. I'm thinking either USB or a PCMCIA card would be best, if one exists that is bit-accurate. Any recommendations? How about one of these options: 1) Digigram VXPocket (PCMCIA card) 2) Egosys U24 (USB interface box) 3) M-Audio Fast Track Pro (USB interface box) 4) Other? The option to do hardware re-sampling on the fly would be nice, but not needed (I can always do it with software for my 48k dats). At this point I'm just looking for an inexpensive, bit-accurate interface. My old EgoSys PCI card used to do everything, but unfortunately I can't use it with my new laptop! Thanks so much, Scott p.s.
