Does this mean i can find some adat edit software and use this $40 usb sound card that i got at walmart and start dumping adat tracks in to it. It has an optical input and output.
No. That's not lightpipe, it's TOSLINK. It's the optical version of S/PDIF which is stereo only digital format. Lightpipe is ADAT with up to 8 tracks of 24/48.
