AppleTV to external DAC?


Is there more than one way to get a digital signal out of the AppleTV to an external DAC?

On the surface of things, it appears to only have the toslink and HDMI outputs (one could conceivably use an HDMI Y-adapter to output to both the TV and something else, but I wouldn't know how to get that to SPDIF other than using one of these electronic splitters (HDMI -> DVI+SPDIF)

I would love for there to be an easy, high-quality solution, but at the moment, I don't see one...

Does that mean I am stuck using toslink?

Toslink to S/PDIF coax (or AES) and I2S, and memory-based reclocking:

T_bone - you can put locate the Pace-Car as far down the stream as you want. Right before the D/A is best.
