Who can advise me on what to use to convert adat optical to analog on a budget, all 16 pref but 8 will do...?

We only really need one way, adat to analog, second hand would be fine, budget is essential, simplicity is important.

many thanks!

you can try the presonus firestation (yamaha ) ; use it in stand alone, and you'll get your adat transformed in 8 analog tracks
normally, you can find the presonus at a cheap price, cause it doesn't work perfectly as a dedicated audio card in a computer
but it's a great standalone converters.

thanks skeuv, any other options? anyone got one of those old korg converters that went with the 1212 card, what were they called? isn't there a small adat optical slave device that has 8 out on jacks or 25 way d or whatever, there should be. there MUST be!!
