Looking for a gadget

I am looking for something to connect a Toslink digital out to a coax (RCA plug)digital in so I can connect to a dac that only accepts an rca plug digital in. I really don't want to get an MSB Digital Director as this is an isolated case and only involves one connection. I know I saw something that did let you connect a toslink to a coax cable. Anyone know where I can find one of these things?

Someone apparently makes a transceiver adapter as these two interfaces aren't directly compatible. Toslink is a fiber optical connection; RCA is an electrical coaxial connection. Perhaps one of your two devices could be retrofitted; if so I'd choose the coaxial route as that is the better interface of the two.

How much would a tech charge to remove the toslink and replace it with an RCA interface? It is basically labor, the parts are peanuts. $40 to $60 ???

Fostex makes such a device. I put one on my Dad's system. It cost less than $100. I found it at Mars Music in Atlanta. Check the Fostex website... Also, try an Audio Alchemy DTI (Digital Transmission Interface). You'll have to find that on the used market. (Note: This will strip out DD 5.1 info)
