macbook to DAC to server/cd recorder

Is this scenario possible:

Play an mp3 wave file that is not downloadable on a Macbook connected to a DAC via usb/toslink. Send it to your main system as analog and over to say an olive musica to be stored and burned to a CD?

Essentially you would be going from D to A back to A then D

An example would be a round about way to get internet radio content into your server to replay in your car

Has anyone tried this and does the original content carry digital transfer blocking to prevent this?

I figured if I'm thinking about this someone has already tried it

Also think about what you can hear on the road.Who cares if they are compressed?You won't hear it rolling.Besides I'd get a Netbook for Wav files before I spent more for the Olive unless you really want it.My complaint with Olive at this poiint is you can't control external USB drives or I'd say get Olive as a primary player.
