My computer (HP M1090n, with Creative SB Audigy  2 ZS) has a digital coaxial 
input, and my Sony DAT deck has only a digital optical output. I need to 
transfer music files to my computer to burn CD's. Thus, I need an optical to 
coaxial converter. I see a bunch advertised on EBay and elsewhere on the 
internet. Are there any significant quality differences, are these 
essentially generic items? If some are better than others, which do you 
recommend? Is there a loss of quality in making the conversion? Thanks.
