Quote from: indietaperwloo on August 27, 2008, 03:17:45 PMFor my DAT transfers, I use this:Fostex D-5 > (TOSLINK S/PDIF) > Radio Shack TOSLINK to coax format converter > (Coax S/PDIF) > M-Audio Audiophile Delta 2496 (via S/PDIF/MIDI dongle to DB9 port)Does the conversion from TOSLINK to coax cause any issues?I have a D-5 that is sitting idle and have always liked that deck over my Sony PCM-R500 which I currently have running to my M-Audio 2496 because it has coax outs. I may pick up a converter though if there are no issues. Im just getting back into things and trying to archive my DATs. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

no, its the same digital data over fiberoptic vs hardwired.think of your computer receiving hte same data over ethernet or wireless, same conceptQuote from: mc1620 on September 07, 2008, 07:30:07 PMQuote from: indietaperwloo on August 27, 2008, 03:17:45 PMFor my DAT transfers, I use this:Fostex D-5 > (TOSLINK S/PDIF) > Radio Shack TOSLINK to coax format converter > (Coax S/PDIF) > M-Audio Audiophile Delta 2496 (via S/PDIF/MIDI dongle to DB9 port)Does the conversion from TOSLINK to coax cause any issues?I have a D-5 that is sitting idle and have always liked that deck over my Sony PCM-R500 which I currently have running to my M-Audio 2496 because it has coax outs.

Some of the tapes were recorded in LP setting on a sony D8. I'm using a Sony PCM-R500 for playback now and there is no problem playing the tapes....BUT.... I can't get the Edirol R-44 to lock on the didgital signal. It seems that the R500 is passing the signal bit for bit but its at 32hz. So do I use the A/D in the UA- 5 Bmp2+ or the R-44? Is there some way to get "bit perfect" copies from32 Hz? I'm thinking UA-5 To the R-44 @ 24/44. Kirk
