I'm looking for an add-on board for an amiga 2000 that can accept
digital sound from a digital output of a CD player or even from a
modified home CD player that takes the digital music off of the CD
and doesn't do an digital to analog to line output conversion.
Since I don't know a lot aabout hardware, this is what I want to
accomplish:  Direct input of music from a CD to an amiga file that
can then be read by one or more of the Amiga sound programs. It
seems strange to me to have a CD player convert to analog then to
line output which is connected to a sampler that converts the
analog to digital and then sends it in the parallel or serial
port.  Or do I need a board at all? Can I send digital sound
directly through pin 18 on the serial port (the audio IN)?
ANY IDEAS OR PLANS APPRECIATED.
