I'm posting this in comp.sys.next and sci.electronics because its
sort of a cross-breed question..

I just purchased a new SONY CD (music) player the other day, this player
has a fiber optic digital output.  I'll be ordering a NeXT Slab within
a few months. What I'm wondering is, seeing as how the sound coming out
of my CD player is already digitized. 
   
      Is there anything out there that will take this feed and pump it
        into a NeXT? any computer?

      How difficult would it be to build such a device? can I get the
       parts?

      Does anyone have information on this type of interface?

I think it would be really nice to feed super clean digitized sound
from a CD player to the NeXT where it can me manipulated in CD quality
and then pumped out to a amp.  Maybe I wont have to buy an equalizer :)

Thanks in advance, if I get any information I'll summarize to the net...
