An FYI for anyone trying to attempt this type of transfer. It matters on the brand of converter, I landed the M-Audio CO2 converter and it is aces compared to the Radioshack model. Thanks for the link Jadeclaw, Minidisco had the best price I could find. Matt

Well, I went for the Radioshack model and I am now getting a signal. The problem now is that the signal sounds like crap to be blunt, very static sounding. I am using Monster Digital Coax and the I know the digital out works well on the table. I think I might give the CO2 a try unless there is something I have forgotten or am doing wrong. Any other thoughts?

Thanks for the useful info. I see that there are different options for buying a converter, is there a known difference in quality with say the M-Audio brand and the Radioshack brand? The Radioshcak brand is cheaper and usually cheaper means a sacrifice in quality, not sure with something like this though. Any thoughts on this?

I think I found my own solution, they make converters, digital coax into optical and vice versa. If this is the best way please let me know. Thanks again.

I am afraid I already know the answer to this, here it goes anyway. I just got the MZ-NH900 and I am trying to record some of my Vinyl. I have a turntable with a digital out but it is Coaxial, not Optical. I bought a Monster coax digital audio cable and a 1/8" mini plug adapter to lead it in the line in on the recorder. I am not getting any levels at all, I am guessing that this is just not a possible transfer, can someone confirm this for me? If it is not possible than I am not sure how to make the transfer as that is my only out source on the turntable. The stereo cables lead right into the turntable so I don't think I could tap into them for Analog. Any ideas.... Thanks
