I'm thinking of getting a NeXTstation. My audio CD player has a digital out and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience manipulating the digital output of a CD player on a NeXT. Is there software available to convert this signal to an analog audio signal? Is there software available to manipulated the digital audio signal in interesteing ways? The the adapters available to hook a coaial output from a CD player to the DSP input on the NeXT? I'd apreciate hearing from anyone who has had any relevant experiance.

It takes either analog signals or direct digital (AES/EBU) from cd players, DAT, etc... It also kicks out analog and digital audio. It comes with a program that allows recording, playback, and waveform editing. It also supports the NeXT MonsterScope Oscilloscope and Spectrum Analyzer. BUT, this little black box costs $1295... probably not in your price range. Since I'm also interested in this (I just ordered a NeXT and I have a Sony CD player with digital out) I'd like to find out if anyone else has tried to do this. Does the DSP chip have a high speed serial input port and could it decode the data stream? > -- > Martin Farach mpf@cs.umd.edu > University of Maryland > Department of Computer Science > College Park, Maryland 20742 -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | David Lacey | Try the ISCA BBS and Archives | | President, Iowa Student Computer Assn | Telnet/FTP: isca.icaen.uiowa.edu | | The University of Iowa | telnet/rlogin in as iscabbs | | isca@icaen.uiowa.edu | 1.3 GIG of disk space and growing| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
