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.

AppleTV can be "hacked" to enable USB output, but I believe it's more than software changes. I use my AppleTV with a VH Optocoupler II toslink cable to a Peachtree Nova Sabre Dac, and that is extremely good. If your DAC is USB input only, my suggestion is of no use..of course.

Mingles- using an Ipod Touch or IPhone you simply use Apple Remote to run the music, and it's a beautiful and simple interface. And the Apple Remote app is free as well.
