AppleTV work with USB DAC?


Can an AppleTV modified via some software to enable and use
its USB Port to output digital audio to an external USB-DAC?

I've been searching the internet for this answer. I know the
MacMini will allow this but I like the "fanless" AppleTV for
quietness and small size.

Thanks.

When using the Apple TV, is there any way to select songs and playlists remotely via computer rather than the TV screen? Or is the ATV inseparable from the TV?
Tom, I've been extremely happy with a Van Den Hul Optocoupler connecting Airport Express to my DAC. The only thing that bugs me is having to use a cheap plastic mini-adaptor to make it work. The one I have came from Parts Express. The connection doesn't feel as solid as I want it to. If anyone can recommend a better solution, please let me know! I wish Apple would just add a standalone Toslink, but I doubt that will happen.
