How do you get Quad from a Quad Capture UA55?

I own a Quad Capture UA55. While its called a "quad" it will only record two analogue inputs simultaneously. I understand that to utilize the "quad" ability you need to input an additional two digital signals.
How is this done?
 
Where do I find a digital signal?
 
Would taking the digital output from a second UA55 to the digital input of the first UA55 allow me to record four inputs simultaneously?
 
I have looked on the Roland website but can find no clues so I hope someone can help.
 
Thanks and cheers

    The other 2 inputs are via SPDIF in at the back of the Quad Capture - like the RCA mono jack, but it's digital and requires a special cable (75 ohm coaxial).

    Most CD / DVD player, and some mixers have the SPDIF out and it's probably designed to use with these, rather than another Quad Capture.
