Hacking a DAC out of a CD player - has anyone done it? - Click HERE for Original Thread
Spasticteapot
For those of us with limited budgets, a good DAC is out of our price range. On the other hand, it's common to see broken CD players with pretty good DACs in them.

Has anyone tried using the DAC from a CD player with an input from another source; say, a USB-> i2c or S/PDIF adapter?

You say you want to rip out the CD innards (mechanic etc) and put a SPDIF receiver in ?

Well, basically all you need is to read the datasheets of a SPDIF receiver and the DAC chip in your player and find how to mate them.

Actually, I was hoping to find something to which I could directly feed an I2S.
