If you’re in the market for a USB -> TOSLink (Digital Audio Output), I’d highly recommend skipping over overpriced crap like the Extigy and instead save yourself a chunk of cash and pick up this USB Sound Box for $25. This thing has worked flawlessly over the past few months on both Windows and OS X machines. It also has AC97 analog output built in, although if you’re hooking it up to anything worthwhile, you really want to use the TOSLink.
