The old (discontinued) Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox 3 has an Optical line out. Actually, the same plug doubles as an analog line-in (stereo mini). I never used the optical facility since I didn't have an appropriate D/A, but there it sits... in my desk drawer, replaced by an iPod Classic 80g.
Actually... it doesn't. My apologies - I remembered wrong. The optical jack on the Nomad is actually a digital INPUT, not output. So useful, perhaps, for nominally portable recording using an outboard ADC or from a computer with optical out, but not for digital output.
