dolby digital to pcm stereo to coaxial dig outpu


I have a unique problem I've never encountered: the Motorola DCT6200 HD cable receiver, apparently, has no way to switch the digital processing so that only PCM stereo is outputted to the digital outputs. If PCM is the source then that is what comes out. I have scoured the Motorola manuals with no success; the cable carrier, Comcast, is a black hole of uselessness on technical questions such as this.

I am looking to acquire a processor that will take a dolby digital signal into its digital coaxial inputs and output the signal as a PCM stereo 44.1 khz via its coaxial digital outs so I can then run the signal into an external Audio Note DAC.

Am looking at a used B&K avp 3090 which looks like it may do as I require. I know dolby digital units will mix down to a stereo output but that is in analogue and not digital output is my experience.

open to suggestions....prefer basic processor but receiver is fine, too. Budget is 750 or less as this is something that will not be used often in my Lowther based system.
