Can use a Theta DS Pro Basic III as a DAC?

I own a Theta DS Pro Basic III digital processor and my Theta Data Basic II CD Transport finally bit the dust. I wish to salvage the Pro Basic Processor.

Can I use this in place of a modern day DAC to connect a computer music server, such as a Mac Mini, to my preamp? I also own an Audio Alchemy Pro 32 if that is any help.

Based on the detailed review from Blindjim, I have bought a M2Tech hiFace with bnc and connected it to a Theta Gen Va BNC in. I would recomend to replace the rca in on your ProBasic with a BNC chassis jack.
The sound is very good, but difficult to say it is better than the AES/EBU direct feed from the Cary CD 303/200.
