Is it possible to convert my soundcard's S/PDIF output to analog audio? Cause that way i could run it into an external fx and return it to the Analog Line-in to my DAW. (haha i have only that many I/O's (i know i know...)
I assume it needs a D/A converter.
How would you do it?
thx

D/A converter
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Depends on what FX unit you're using. Quite a few nowadays have S/PDIF in and out, so you could run S/PDIF out of your soundcard into a S/PDIF on the FX unit and the jack outs of the FX unit back into the jacks of the soundcard. The Lexicon MPX series (as far as I can remember) all have digital in/outs, and those units are pretty cheap. So you may not need a standalone converter.

no, i sadly dont have spdif inputs, then i wouldnt have asked it...
It seems its cheaper to buy another m-audio card and daisy chain it for 4 more inputs and outputs.
thanks
