Title: Best Digital In (Coax) for DAT Transfers?
Post by: Chrisedge on September 14, 2010, 06:10:28 PM

I bought a Diamond FS 7.1 (PCI) after having a Zoltrix Nightngale (ISA) for so long, and I was doing some transfers and I noticed they are all jacked up, wrong speed (I have tried 44.1k, settings, etc...) and I now need to either:

Build my old ISA system back up to just use for transfers
Get the Diamond working (not sure if it resamples everything it takes in or not)
Buy a Coax Digital In USB device

Any thoughts or suggestions?

But does his DAT have optical out in the first place? Otherwise the OP still needs to shop for a coax/opti converter?
