Ok, so I have some older Parasound gear sitting on my desk. Right now I'm driving it by going usb -> D10 Cobra to 3.5mm out to RCA in on the PLD 2000 as an amp.
I'd really like to drive it with my DAC 2000 desktop DAC, using my laptop as a source, given that I could then use the balanced interconnects from the DAC to the amp, and I'm thinking that it is probably a better DAC than what's in the Cobra. (The amp definitely sounds better than the Cobras amp in back to back testing)
So, what I'm looking for is a straight up USB to Toslink converter. Anyone know if one that does this well, or at least doesn't cost me too much extra stuff that I don't need? The nuForce uDAC looks moderately decent, except that it only would give me rca spdif instead of toslink.
