Hi All, first post...
I have about 100 DATs, at various sample rates, that I would like to archive to flac, wav, aiff or whatever, pure digital transfers, no resampling. A lot of the tapes are master recordings, and a few are over a decade old now, so I want to back them up before anything happens to them.
So, I need a good firewire external soundcard which will take a SPDIF signal from my Tascam DAT deck and make a bit-perfect 32/44.1/48 wav/lossless copy that I can dump straight to my mac powerbook and archive to external hd or dvd-r. I have a M-Audio Firewire pro card currently but it doesn't support 32khz so is useless for this task.
Budget - wouldn't like to pay more than $200 if I can avoid it. I really only need this for digi-transfers, so A>D conversion is not an issue.
Any help would be very gratefully received. Thanks!
