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?

First, let me say that I'm using the toslink and it sounds great. I I am using a Transparent Audio glass toslink cable,which may or may not help, but overall, you should try the toslink before dismissing it out of hand.

That being said, there are converters such as the Theta TLC that will convert from toslink to coax. If someone's tried using it, I'd love to hear their thoughts
