converting digital to wav file

[noground]

I've recorded all my tracks to date on this Roland VS-1680. I'd like to send some of these tracks out the digital out (either spdif or optical) of the VS into a PC. What hardware do I need to turn this 24 bit, 44.1 khz stream into a wav file on the PC? I only want to send over prerecorded tracks so I can process them and I want to keep it in the digital domain. Any ideas of where to start?

All you need is a DAW program(cubase, sonar, cool edit, nuendo etc.) and an interface that can hook your computer up to your roland...If its only 2 tracks your doing at a time you could get the M-AUDIO spdif card or maybe the audiophile if you may want to start recording from your computer instead of the roland.

the M-AUDIO card looks like the sort of thing I need (except the analog I/O's are unnecessary), but I forgot to mention that I want to put this on a laptop with no PCI slot available. Is there something similar that is USB compatible?
