I see some peeps are hardware modding Echo Dots to bring out an S/PDIF
feed - https://hackaday.io/project/162309-spdif-from-echo-dot The 3rd
Gen Dot should be able to handle the 'HD' streams. so taking the S/PDIF
into the Transporter's DAC ought to be doable.

My recent Samsung Smart TV doesn't output external source analogue

But surely you're not putting in analogue sound? Most TVs will output
PCM on the S/PDIF after decoding the HDMI input from cable tv/games
console etc.
I picked up a 64gb Playbook very cheaply on the promise they will get
the upgrade to BB10 this year.
Anyhow, in the meantime it's doing duty as a Squeezebox controller and I
