DirecTV into DAC into preamp......

If I get the plain vanilla DirecTV service hardware package,does it have a digital pre out? Can I feed the audio(from fm radio stations) to a 16bit dac?

My dac has only one input. Does anyone have any experiences,good or bad,with a box that has three or four inputs,a rotary selector switch,and one line to the input on the dac?

Thank you

I think you would be covered for every need if you purchased DirecTV's new HD box.

I bought mine about two months ago and It has outputs jacks for component video, composite video, analog out, digital coax out (RCA), digital optical out (Toslink), HDMI out and S Video out.

This receiver picks up off air HDTV signal with it's built in tuner and all satellite formats from DirecTV. The output is successfully driving our 20 year old NEC TV as well as our new Grand WEGA HD. In other words, compatibility of the box and new antenna appear to be universal.

I bought mine at CompUSA with HD antenna and all accessories for about $350.00. The salesman said it was manufactured by Samsung for DirecTV.
