Changing USB input on DAC to Coax SPDIF?

Does anyone know if this can be done? My DAC (Rega Isis) has only a USB input that is designed to work with a computer. The computer needs a driver to work together, I assume this limits the input to computers only? Or will other devises work with this connection? Can this input be changed to a COAX input easily? are there simple adapters that will do this?

I may not be totally following you but if what you are trying to do is to use the spdif (rca) input on the DAC vs the usb input have you looked into a usb to spdif converter? The usb cable from the computer goes into it and then a digital spdif cable goes from the converter to the DAC.

 

link below is just an example of a converter , there are a few other manufacturers
