Has anyone reading this tried, say, the 'Firestone' USB dac that has an
optical output?

No, I have not found the need, so far, for any external DAC to go with my
Mac mini, the analogue output sounds most satisfactory to me. A snaglet with
the Mac is the the analogue and optical outputs both emanate from the same
3.5mm plug'ole so both cannot be connected simultaneously, unless someone
knows otherwise.

Would an external DAC get around a PC's inherent resampling.

Googling found this from a well known supplier :-
