I need to convert the S/PDIF digital output of a Digidesign 002 to an AES digital format to input into a CraneSong digital monitor control. I know that S/PDIF and AES have essentially similar data streams (with the exception of some subcode data...S/PDIF sends track markers etc. and Serial Copy Managment System, if memory serves); it's just that S/PDIF is a lower voltage unbalanced signal and AES is balanced with a 3 to 10 volt signal.

Questions for the forum:
1. Has anyone used an S/PDIF-to-AES transformer from an 002 to anything else? Where did you get it?
2. Has anyone ever wired an RCA-to-XLR adapter (without a transformer) and had any luck going from S/PDIF to AES?
3. Has anyone used an active format converter of some kind?

Thanks.
