Digital recording from minidisk to PC (1 Viewer)

In relation to an old post which suggested the following:

...Most minidiscs have an digital/optical line out as well as an alanalog line out (headphone mini-jack). For about £30 you can get a Fostex optcial to digital converter, which if used in conjunction with a digital sound card (like the soundblaster live, v.cheap at about £125)...

Where is a good place in our Fair City to get this sort of gear?

try that dj place beside the george on the corner or georges street: they have an enormous amount of gear like that (well they used to, i think they have moved)..
also i thinkyou might have trouble saving the tracks (ie: they will be far too big) are you planning to convert to mp3 or winamp-compatable?
i hope thats helpful..

sorry again, but there are helpful sites on the 'net which will help you do this.. my mates band did this. i'll ask one of the lads and post a reply

i've no problem as far as software is concerned - will be converting to wav and mp3. just want to know is there any store in Dublin that specializes in this sort of equipment - digital soundcards, digital inputs etc. lorcanzo, i think you're talking about richer sounds and they're down on the quays again near the ha'penny bridge.

Now people have started shamelessly
promoting shops that they don't even work for. Where's all this going to end?? Godammit someone's even promoting cables in general.
