BLA MK2 Black, Red and White
Just wondering about your educated thoughts on these:

Am I correct that these only have SPDIF out? If so, how best can I get the signal from it to my DAW? Many thanks.

signal path
So, the little audio-in jack on Mac Book Pros and iMacs is actually an optical in. This makes it really easy to use one of these:

Yeah I saw that discussed elsewhere - just not sure of how it would work... do I just have to replace the existing A/D chip in the Digi 002 with the TI one?
Bummed because black lion will no longer take the consoles... but if it's doable.. I'd be open to modding it myself - or getting someone who could do it for me... got next to nothing to lose as it's re-sale value is low.... it's value to me given what I originally spent on it would be in making it better and continue using it...

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Sorry for the newb questions... I found this... http://www.flickr.com/photos/isialdi/44 ... 434592957/
so I guess it comes pre-assembled or does it have to be built?
Also, could I just throw it in a cigar box or like wooden box - or where could I get a proper metal enclosure like in the pic?
thanks! This is so awesome - exactly what I needed and within my current budget.

I've been wondering the same thing - from what I've seen on the net - it seems you'll need to also order a linear power supply to work with it... this is what I've seen reccomended:kslight wrote:So how exactly does one take this to a fully functional device...what do you get for $149?

Plus you'll probably have to either, buy, fabricate or find something to use as a housing... hopefully it comes pre assembled (that isn't clear to me either) or else it's time to find a fine tip soldering iron ... with the info I've gotten so far that's what I expect...
am I right Jim?

I guess I have very little interest in a DIY project... especially where converters are concerned. But, I DID put a BLA MK2 Black Sparrow on order and I can't wait to see how it sounds. I'll post a review, albeit not exactly professional.
