Rat answered,

| No, it won't, since none of that information is carried on the PCM signal.

Even worse, the 700PC comes with a USB-to-analog link (it's the 700DPC that
includes a USB-to-optical link), so it provides an analog signal (rather than
an S/PDIF signal; is it technically accurate to speak of a "PCM signal"?) to
the MD recorder, and that certainly doesn't carry titles!

| A noise-free digital connection, assuming you get the DG2 model rather than
| the AN1 model.

No, just a lower-noise analog connection, as Danny-K has said, than Christoph
would get by going through the soundcard's line-out.
