digital degradation ?

I was wanting to know if all soundcards mantain the purity of digital
signals fed into them ?

Say I have an entry level 4 I/O recording interface. (I actually have
one) which has SPDIF input and output. I purchase a good 2 channel ADDA
external converter. Feed the soundcard with this converter and monitor
off it too.

The best way to work with a digital computer with a DAW

If you have a digitlal mixer, it seems that you really should route all your tracks from your from your DAW to the mixer. If you don't, then you can't use any of the effects of your mixer, nor can you sum in the mixer which would allow you to use routing, pan and other controls on your mixer,. You might as well just get a controller, no?

New to digital recording, stupid ?s

Hi all, new guy here. I know nothing at all about digital recording, but would like to get a recorder soon. So I've got a few questions:

1) Are all recorders compatible with all others? My buddy has a fostex mr-8 if he burned a CD could I pop that in another brand recorder and record on that? I'm talking about the under $1,200 Korg /fostex/boss type.
