ok so i've looked more into this. i could:

1) go with a usb2/firewire card that has aes inputs.

or

2) keep what i have and buy a converter. i found this:

OK so the second option scares the hell out of me cause any type of ****in around with the signal quality whether it's converters or cable adapters scares me, cause i absolutely don't want the sound quality to degrade.

The first option seem like it might be better. But I don't want to fork out loads for a huge soundcard (that's why I thought this Edirol unit would be perfect). But then again, it can't be a shitty card cause then i'm back to square one with the sound quality degrading.

Grrr!!!!!!! HEEEEEEELPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!
