I'm interested in connecting the digital output of a CD player (or, more
specifically, a PCM recorder) to the digital input on a NeXT cube.  Has
anyone done this?  Is any extra hardware required for converting the
bitstream into something the digital input can take?  How is the the
cable wired?

I'm planning on writing some software to deal with reading this input,
and converting it to a .snd file.  Has this already been done?

On a similar note, where can I find literature describing the format of
the digital bitstream from the CD player/PCM recorder?
