Carl,

You need a digital analog converter. Just do a search for DAC on ebay =
and you can spend from 100 to 3000. Just pick a price point. I have a =
Marantz AV9000 and it has the same problem. The preamp does not act as a =
DAC for the digital inputs.

Hope this helped,
Dale

  Here we go again!

  I bought a SB Live Platinum and now have spdif out that I can put into =
my Sony 333 ES receiver to finally couple my mp3 playback with CD's    =
Sounds great!

  However, an unexpected glitch is that the 333 will not send out analog =
audio from a digital source to the record-out jacks  that I use to daisy =
chain three receivers for audio in different areas of the  house and =
beyond.

  I really want to use digital out of the computer.  Any ideas? =20
  =20
  I read a thread on the list from a person talking about a surround =
decoder that would take a digital in and decode to analog.  The person =
said such products were rather inexpensive on E-bay.  Could someone =
provide an exact link cause I have come up empty in this search.

  Thanks,
  Carl
