My usual digital numpty - ness
I need a USB plug to single RCA phono line socket adapter for a digital audio signal. To plug a NVA cable into to go from my laptop to my DAC. I looked at ebay and I am confused which is the right one.
Ta!

Its not just a cable you need, its an adapter with "bits" inside
Something like this to go from USB to digital coaxial, I am sure someone will be along soon with a better cheaper / option.

Musical Fidelity V-link. USB input & coax output. Quality product might be cheap on Ebay.

Do me a favour
it dates from 1988 USB wasn't even invented then. It has got two RCA phono and a CD/Twinlink what ever that is when it is at home.
