First post!
I've got both an Airport Extreme and a video processor (iScanHD) which could benefit from a DAC -- but can I get an all-in-one?
For my TV I have been looking for a cheap outboard DAC because my video processor (which sits inbetween my sources and my TV) does not output analog audio (or, because my TV does not have a digital input..I guess folks in my position usually also shell out for a A/V reciever). This has been bumming me out because I don't want to spend a fortune on a DAC, nor do I want a new A/V reciever; I just want to watch the news w/o having to turn on the stereo set.
BUT it looks like a cheap DAC that isn't DYI or ebay doesn't exist, so I got to thinking, could I find a DAC that
• inputs digital coax
• inputs toslink using a mini-toslink to toslink adapter plugged into my Airport Extreme
• outputs RCA analog X2: one set to my stereo receiver, and one set to my TV
• and maybe outputs two digital to analog conversions simultaneously (OK I'm reachin')
