I'm currently feeding my Touch to my old faithful Linn Classik amplifier via TOSLINK.
I've really no reasons for changing, except for the curiosity of building and trying a combo RPi+Touchscreen that should be in a way a direct replacement for the Touch, perfectly fitting my needs.
The standard RPi screen case does not have room for a HAT, and I really do not need an additional DAC, being perfectly satisfied with the one built in the Linn. My idea would then be to feed an all-digital signal to the Linn, but the Linn is too old and does not have an USB input, and the RPi does not have a digital out...
Looking around the internet I found this:

Does anybody know if this works on a RPi? Or has anybody another suggestion for an USB to TOSLINK interface/converter?
(I wont argue here about the relative merits of different DACs or of TOSLINK over S/PDIF)
Thanks for your suggestions!
(PS: not sure if the best place for this thread is here or in the 3rd party hardware section)
