Possibly daft question re: S/P DIF out

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.gigabyte (More info?)

Hi all

I've a 7N400 Pro which was supplied with an Audio bracket with digital out
which I has an optical s/p dif out and RCA (output/input? digital?) out. I
would like to know if it'd be possible to take the signal from either the
RCA or s/p dif out and connect it to a Sony Hi-MD player with an Optical
(digital) in: mini-jack? I already have an optical /RCA conversion unit.

I've yet to receive the MD recorder and I'll mostly be using to upload
tracks from the PC via USB and record directly from a NAD Cd player but I'm
looking for total flexibility e.g. Some of the WMA tracks I have on the PC
are digitally *protected* (DRM) and I may have to record these in real-time
if I want em on an MD.

(BTW I don't want this to turn into a MP3 vs. MD thread if at all possible -
I just prefer MD cos I'm *idiosyncratic* like that ;o)

TIA
