Topic: Raspberry Pi Bit Bucket Project

the only usb i know of with a digi in is the cancun series from digigram ($500+)

I would too.  It looks like there have been a couple sold between 250-350 in recent times...just a few.  But, I'm off topic.  Is there a USB sound card with S/PDIF in that might work in place of the Wolfson?  I ask, because I have two Pi's that aren't compatible with the Wolfson card.  I've spent some time looking, but everything seems to be USB DAC, and doesn't have coax S/PDIF in.  Anyone every seen one?

You could just pick up a used Tascam HD-P2 for about $250-350 and call it a night (seem to be easily had for under $300 on ebay right now)

It accepts 24bit up to 192Khz on it's SPDIF

Where are these $250 P2s? The cheapest on ebay right now is $350 + shipping, with NO CF card. I'd buy 1 in a second for $250....

Any progress on this bare-bones S/PDIF bit bucket?

This is awesome. The metering on the AD2k was one of the reasons I kept it for so long.  Peak hold is an awesome feature. I'd love to see this offered in a DIY kit as Jamie said. Does anyone know what came of this?

Seems to me that the RPi is a viable option.  I've got an M-Audio Transit USB and with a little tweaking to the madfuload app, it works with the RPi and will accept a S/PDIF in and write it to an SD chip.  Mainly though, I use the Transit with my Android phone which seems to be somewhat more stable than the RPi.

years ago i tested teh maudio transit for DAT transfer purposes, and IIRC, it dropped samples. may vary depending on host hardware.  i would test it extensively if using it for mission critical field work
