Re: XL7 S/PDIF -> iBook

Thanks Mike. Yeah, that is much more than I need. But I think I found
the perfect solution:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5825728320

It's an Edirol UA-1D. Looks like what I had in mind exactly. A cable
with a lump in it. It is out of production, so I turned to eBay.
Problem solved for $33 + shipping.

Of course your headphone jack solution is cheaper, but I have a
(minor) hum on the headphone out, and I have to watch out for clipping
and stuff like that.

-Ron.
