Inexpensive basic streamer with SPDIF out

[NJ coffee roaster]

TV uses optical out only and minidsp only has one optical, otherwise I would get Wiim mini, unless theres a good quality optical switch someone can recommend. I would assume even a basic streamer should be acoustically transparent if using digital out.

Testing Optical transparency is about the easiest and least expensive thing that you can do at home.

All that you need is a Hifime UR23 and freeware like REW, Multitone Analyzer, or Deltawave.

For a digital switch I'd think simply listening to it would be enough. Either it works without dropouts and added noise or it doesn't. There no D2A involved.
