Is there something exactly like this except with a digital S/PDIF output instead? I'd prefer to use my own DAC. Thanks!

Yes, there are several newer devices out now that have optical and co-ax type digital outs. Search amazon for "bluetooth receiver with digital" that will get you started. They are more expensive but I would probably go that way today if I wanted a new one, just for the flexibility. None of these little devices will "ever" have the level of DAC as you can find in a high end audio system but then again streaming high end audio over bluetooth is almost an oxymoron even with aptX. Enjoy.

You can get a great sounding optical DAC from Fiio for $25, and attach it to the back of this amp.FiiO D3 Digital to Analog Audio Converter - 192kHz/24bit Optical and Coaxial DAC

If you have a Digital Audio output, you should be able to convert it to analog. One note, the picture shown is deceptive. There is only one little block not two. They are showing both a front and back view.

Hi Ronald C. I actually purchased the device for my son who is heading down the path of music and production as a career. I just asked him the question and he is pretty sure that this can't be done using the Tascam device. There is probably a way to do it externally on a computer using some kind of adhoc software package, but unfortunately the Portastudio itself doesn't seem to have the capacity to do what you want. Sorry. Regards, Bill A

It is a digital coaxial output then it has to be connected to an external dac

You may understand, I will point out there is no amplifier in the DAC. It's only a processor. That said, it makes an amazing difference in sound quality, such that I want to run all my music through it. I have been told that HDMI sound channels are superior. My ears prefer the sound from this device.

Yes, if you get a digital out signal before your speakers. If it is headphone out, then you will actually be using the DAC on your PC in most cases, so this won't perform the function you are looking for. In essence, you need an output on your pc that allows you to bypass its internal DAC so that the conversion will occur on the FiiO.

Your digital receiver is very common in that it needs to convert all audio, including analog audio, to digital. Unless your receiver has a way to turn off *all* digital processing then there is no way around it. Probably need to buy an analog only amp to avoid this double D/A conversion.

The RCA inputs are only analog, not digital (e.g. S/PDIF) so the DAC only runs via USB.

This DAC works through both the usb and 3.5 aux into audio connectors. Digital to analog converter e.i. computer to speaker

As far as I understand, that set-up will utilize the amp function but not the DAC. The DAC is only through the USB port.

Fist, download user guide PDF from Google. U can use a usb hub (make sure it uses a power supply) to extend the inputs to PC. Use the accompanying "ignite" software to integrate with your DAW.

Yes it has a DAC because it has a headphone output jack. I assume the quality of the DAC is the same as the ADC used to digitize the audio to begin with. However, I have not used the phone jack.

The 7030's D/A conversion is excellent. I hooked mine up to the analog inputs (&gt;100db A s/n) of my recycled old 6.0 a/v receiver with 3 ft KabelDirekt RCA/RCA, a big $12 via Prime. Works great! Save your digital inputs for BD, etc.

I returned this and bought the cambridge audio dac magic . That blew me away!

No, its strictly a DAC. You connect the output to a headphone amp, preamp, receiver etc.

Yes. By definition, the output of a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) is an analog signal. The output of USB is a digital signal, so it has not been through the DAC.
