Alesis ADAT out to S/PDIF ? - Linux-audio-user

23 Apr 2011

I have an old Alesis QSR which has an optical digital output
that is in a "proprietary Alesis format".  The manual says:

...
  The digital connector follows a proprietary Alesis
format
 that carries all four audio outputs of the QSR (Main and
 Aux, Left and Right) on a single fiber optic cable.
 Either pair of outputs can be converted into standard AES/EBU
 or S/PDIF stereo digital audio format by using the Alesis AI-1
 interface.   
So, short of buying a used Alesis AI-1 (for maybe $100) is there
anyway I can convert the output of the Alesis to something
that can be read by an Spdif input?

Thanks;
