soundcard for DAT transfer advice needed
red:
My m-audio audiophile 2496 has bitten the dust, just as I was getting ready to transfer from some old DAT tapes. I have an old Conner DDS drive I'm hoping to figure out, but I'd also like another option. Are there any good external/USB interfaces I should consider? Any advice is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

If you have a Mac you could buy the first Apogee Duet (Firewire) for under $200. Or UA Apollo Duo.

IMO, buy an inexpensive Recorder that does SPDIF input, and save your PC for other things...

or you could buy an inexpensive used audio interface like the duet with top shelf converters.

Why buy stuff you don't need?
If you want to do DAT transfers, an inexpensive recorder or interface with a bit perfect spdif is all you need.
