How the device you're talking about works isn't relevant to the conundrum in this thread. I don't need such a unit - I've been trying to describe the setup in my posts.
In a nutshell I need a self-standing DAC which has fibre-optic/spdif/toslink 'in' and analogue audio 'out'.
I've been looking at the Digital device/DAC section of this forum and frankly it's all fairly mind boggling - there's all these guys buying and modding these cheap units or others spending £100's on off-the-shelf stuff. Looking through all the relevant threads I can't find a straight answer recommending a reasonably price DAC that would be decent when it's got better caps installed!
When I find the right DAC unit to buy I'll make a post here and let people know what my options turned out to be.
Thanks
John

Just get one of those. Itl likely sound better than your edirol, does what you need, and costs very little. Even includes an optical cable.
