(Feeling really stupid asking this but my understanding of underlying electronics and electricals is very limited.)
If an amplifier (or any other device for that matter) accepts an optical (TOSLINK) input and outputs
an analog signal, then it will always have some kind of digital-to-analogue module which is processing
the input from the optical and sending it out on the analogue.
In other words, when the intention is to output analogue, one cannot accept optical input without also
including a DAC in the processing pipeline.
Am I correct?
