there's a way: AES/EBU to S/PDIF signal level converter AES out: 2-------330 ohm-----+------------- SPDIF in | 3--+ 91 ohm | | 1--+------+---------+------------- | - ground The idea for this circuit is taken from articles posted to Usenet News. you can also find a transformer: http://www.canare.com/index.cfm?objectid=D56C78F0-4005-A02E-60096D1ACCA27960 but i think this would be interesting only if you had already the soundcard. In the pro world you can find many with S/PDIF outputs: MOTU 828, M-Audio Audiophile firewire, RME, Digidesign,.... They use Asio drivers instead of the Microsoft ones, they don't upsample like usual pc soundcards. In the M-Audio range you can find cheap models which are very good. I had the Delta 44 but it had no digital output, that's why i changed it an took the Marian because the Tact Rcs 2.2 has AES inputs and i wanted to use them. But for S/PDIF i would have tried M-Audio audiophile first.
