    Digital audio -> analog RCA DAC

    Hi all, I just ran my digital audio from my switcher to my son's room which is great but now I am stuck. We decided to give him one of our older (2 years, wahtever...) ViewSonic LCD's which does -not- have digital audio inputs.

    So, does anyone have a lead on a low cost DAC that can convert coax or optical digital audio to standard RCA? I know I can spend $100+ and get it but I was hoping for something in the $50 range or so, I'd hate to spend more then the TV to get audio for him!

    Tx

      Look for used DAC-in-the-Box, Theta Link, or any of the MSB units. 2 channel only but just fine.
