I have a source with only a Toslink output and I want to hook it up to an ART DI/O, which only has S/PDIF inputs. I searched the forums here and at Headwize and could only find projects for going the reverse direction. Does anyone have any plans for this, preferrably with parts lists? I don't want to mod the source, for what that's worth.
If this is too tricky to do as a one-day project, what about a recommendation for a commercial converter box? I've found a few cheap-looking things that I'm wary about. In the "big trustable name" department there's the Monarchy DIP ($250) and the M-Audio CO-3 ($200). The DIP also does reclocking, which is nice, I guess, and the CO-3 does simultaneous conversion to and from S/PDIF, TosLink and AES/EBU. I don't think I need these two features, but if I can't build it myself or find something trustable but inexpensive (under $80, say), I may spring for the DIP....
