SPDIF to USB converter???

Does anyone know of the existence of a digital signal adapter/converter from SPDIF (IN), preferably coax, toslink if need be, to USB (OUT)? Since I haven't found anything, I wonder if that is at all possible or would the signal have to go through multiple conversions to achieve this?

Thanks in advance and sorry if the question has been discussed before, I couldn't find it in the archives

There are several out there. One is here.

Thanks, I have seen some of these but I'm searching for something that converts the other way round, i.e. SPDIF IN and USB OUT

T-Bone, he wants to convert in the other direction, from spdif to usb.

Karel, I did some brief searching and couldn't find anything either. What is it that you want to accomplish? If your purpose is to get a spdif signal into a computer, perhaps you could add a sound card to the computer that has a spdif input.

Thanks Al, I'm actually on the verge of buying an inexpensive bluray player, likely Panasonic DMP-BD60 which appears to be an overachiever in terms of picture but (unavoidably) has a mediocre sound. I would integrate this in my purely 2ch system that contains the AMR CD77. Now, the CD77 has digital IN but quite unusually only USB. I could of course buy a DAC such as a used MF V-DAC to upgrade the bluray, but before I spend half the price of the bluray on that, I'm exploring possibilities to go through the DAC in the CD77 after all.
