How can I record pod x3L through s/pdif?

Hi. I'm tired to fight with goddaXX usb dropout.

 

and usb-record's tone sucks. it's TOO different compare with another mp3 player of computer soundcard.

 

so I'm gonna try to use spdif.

 

I'm not sure, but i suppose my computer's mother board and soundscard not support spdif in/out. (mother - P31, sound - realtek ALC662)

 

 

so, how can I connect pod and computer through spdif?

 

what should i do?

 

1. buy a coverting cable? is there cable converts spdif to d-sub, dvi or something can be connect to computer? (i don't know about this much)

 

2. buy a audio interfaces support rca or spdif?

 

3. I heard rca and spdif are same(or similar) thing. am I right?

 

 

please answer me, Thanks.

    If you're experiencing the dropout then contact Line 6 to get your unit fixed.

     

    If you want to record with S/PDIF then you will need to get a sound card for your computer that has the S/PDIF input on it.

     

    RCA is not the same.  The RCA refers to the type of plug not the digital audio format.  Most RCA connectors are on line level inputs (analogue).  High end audio cards for computers should have S/PDIF inputs (and outputs).

     

    Take a look at this: http://www.tech-faq.com/spdif.shtml
