Perhaps the OP has got a CD player or DVD player or a second computer with

coaxial S/PDIF output, if so I recommend to test, if it's possible to get

the input from the CD/DVD player, when recording the analog IOs too. I

guess nowadays DAT, MD etc. are very seldom. When my portable DAT and my

stationary DAT drives get broken, I neither repaired them nor did I buy a

new DAT recorder a friend has got 3 or 4 stationary broken DAT drives and

 from time to time he tries to repair the drives, fortunately they are from

the same series and revisions as my stationary DAT, so I would benefit

 from his effort, if he ever should get a drive working again. Perhaps the

OP could get a high quality A/D converter for less money by buying a DAT

recorder with a broken drive. Note: Not all devices provide coaxial in and

outputs.My stationary DAT e.g. does provide coaxial input only, but

optical input and output, my portable DAT only does provide coaxial input

and output, but no optical IOs.
