A friend just got the TASCAM CD-RW5000 external burner and he wants to use it to burn a few digital copies of his CDRs. He mixes directly from a nice analog system. The
website claims this unit has AES/EBU digital I/O. What the heck is that? I found a picture of one on a Zefiro sound card http://www.sbfilmaudio.com/zefiro.html
and it looks like an XLR version of the S/PDIF. But will these be compatible with S/PDIF output from another CD player? DAT deck? MD? Gina?
Just back from the toy store- where I was told there are 3 obstacles to conversion between AES/EBU and S/PDIF. One is the physical connector style- XLR vs. RCA. A second is the impedance expected, and the 3rd is the actual format of the data stream, modified to accomodate extra "check-bits" to increase data integrity beyond the S/PDIF standard. Is this guy correct?
Can someone verify this info?
