Is it possible to use a cd recorder as a dac - it has optical in and an analog out? I'm wondering because the drives break and they might have nice stuff as far as the internals - 
like this marantz is on ebay for 60 bucks right now. I just don't know if it would work or if it would be a good idea. The eventual use would be pulling a digital feed from an ipod and exporting it to a set of rotel seperates.
thanks for any insight
Nate
