Ever since I first saw this http://www3.big.or.jp/~fujikko/sc88vl/kaizo.html , I have been wondering about getting digital audio from my SC-88VL and possibly my SC-55 .
However, it only recently hit me that the DIY circuit described is essentially an I2S to S/PDIF transceiver and that such circuits can be purchased ready-made . Consequently, I ordered some WM8805 based transceivers from China and will try my hand at interfacing one with the SC-88VL .
Finding a reasonably priced, pre-assembled transceiver that handles 32KHz input officially was practically impossible, so I settled on some that were advertized as >=44.1KHz but, as they are based on the WM8805, my understanding/hope is that 32KHz will work . If the SC-55 uses an I2S, a similar mod should be possible, I think/hope .
If there something that I am missing, or if this is a dumb idea for some reason, please let me know .
