What power conditioners can convert 230v to 120v?
Eldatford is right ( as usual ). Get in touch with the manufacturers or dealers back home. It will save you a lot of money and if need be hunt up a good technician "down under" to do the necessary conversion. Generally it is no big deal.

The best no-compromise digital options?
