Even the SBLive Value has a nice set of (SP/dif) Digital Input Output Interfaces :
There
are two different Pinlayouts - One using 12 Pin and one using 40 Pin Connectors
!
Make shure you choose the right Pin Layout (See down at the Bottom of this page)

One user in the
SBLive Music Newsgroup did find an Article in the Sound-on-Sound magazine
which is quite interesting - it describes how to do Digital Copies using
the "One final point for APS owners is that there is apparently a way to achieve bit-for-bit copies. It only works with the ASIO driver and 48kHz signals. First you need to set your DAT recorder (or other digital device) to slave to the fixed 48kHz clock signal from the APS digital output. Then you record using either of the two S/PDIF inputs of the card, but switch off the Econtrol mixer. This should ensure that no sample-rate conversion takes place, and that the file recorded to your hard drive is identical to the original." Select ASIO rec and NONE as source on the EMU mixer - Enable Inputs 3-4 on Cubase - monitor if you need and Record. You'll notice that rec. gain controls and EMU10K1 DSP are excluded from the path of spdif incoming signal. |

| Connecting SP/dif |  |
| Remember
digital SP/dif Connections are done the following way you have to connect Input-Output and GND-GND |
|
| Example connecting a SBLive "Value" with an APSLive "Value" | |
 |
This Example is valid for 12 Pin Ext_Connection only - if your Card has 40 Pins (CT4830) look at the bottom table for the equivalent values ! |
| you can use the digital audio cd cable included or u can use a standard CD Audio -> Soundcard connector cable and tear apart some plastic so that it fits our needs. | |
| To connect 2 SBLive cards you have to connect (mass to mass = GND to GND) and cross connect an Input to another output Most likely SPDif out 00 to the Digital CD in of the other card or to the SPDif in on Pin 06. | |
| Warning: stupid wiring here can KILL your SBLIVE ! | |
| VALUE 2 "APS" VALUE playback | |
 |
Connect pins 5 and 6 on the SB-card... (pin 5 is GND and pin 6 is input). This Example is valid for 12 Pin Ext_Connection only - if your Card has 40 Pins (CT4830) look at the bottom table for the equivalent values !
|
 |
...to pins 1 and 2 on the APS-card (pin 2 is GND and pin 1 is output). The fat black cable is always GND.
|
| If you did all right you can now playback analogue sounds on the "APS" card (enable line in and digital out on the SBLive powered card and enable Digital in 02 on the APS Mixer Control Strip). | |
