Some PC's or laptop's have this allready as an option on their sound card, if you have a combined Line in Optical in, (3.5mm optical adapter) you would be ready, and you need only a coaxial to optical converter, if not you need an audio interface like people in the music industry use, the prices may vary a lot in this sector, but they are really affordable ones,
and for all sample and bit rates. like i said, you should want to convert to USB in your case, or use a combination of converters if needed.
Dolby surround sets Home theatre, receivers/amplifiers, have also digital/toslink/coaxial input, but i guess they have no USB output, Depending if you still want to use the DAT recorder for recording in the future, you might want to buy a (rack) digital recorder, you will have digital input this way, record to SD (flash) cards, HDD, network, or even writable cd-r's in wav, or mp3 format.
It al depends if you need this hardware also in the near future for your work (flow)
