Does this DAC exist?


I'd like to hook up my dvd player, computer, and digital cable receiver to a DAC. This dac would thus need to have one coax input (from the philips 963sa), a toslink input (from the cable receiver) and another toslink input (from the computer). Ideally it would also have an analog passthrough. I don't have much experience with standalone dacs, but prior to the philips I had a cheapo dvd player hooked up to a msb link dac II. I liked the solidity and bass extension the msb brought (though I felt the philips had a more extended and cyrstalline high end). If I had to choose, I'd prefer this dac to come from the warm/lush side of town and have plenty of toe-tappin rhythm and pace it--kind of like my rega p25/dynavector 10x5 combo. New or used is fine, as is ss or tubed. Budget is 1000$ max, and of course less would be better. Thanks.

The Birdland Odeon-Ag has everything you are looking for except the analog passthrough. 2 Toslink, 1 RCA/BNC (adapter supplied for RCA), and 1 XLR. Cost is around $1300 new, $1800 with the re-clocker option. They don't show up used too often because they kill everything in that price range.
