I would like to use my PC to record a 44.1Khz 16bit spdif signal and
perform basic editing (splitting tracks etc.) before burning a CD. My
Arcam AV amp provides digital out for analogue inputs. It seems sensible
to me to try and use that signal rather than the usual analogue feed to
the PC card.

Can this be done and better still, can it be done at minimal cost? I do
have a sound card but of course it has spdif out but not in. Does anyone
know of a card that does spdif in and doesn't cost 60UKP or more.

Software, is their anything that can perform the above from an spdif
rather than analogue input?

TIA for your help.

There are plenty of cheap sound cards out there that offer S/PDIF both
in and out. Here's one

As for software, anything should do. It is not the software that
determines what input and output you can use, but the card drivers and
their interaction with Windows. Audacity is the usual piece of very
capable freeware that would handle most editing jobs.
