macbook to DAC to server/cd recorder


Is this scenario possible:

Play an mp3 wave file that is not downloadable on a Macbook connected to a DAC via usb/toslink. Send it to your main system as analog and over to say an olive musica to be stored and burned to a CD?

Essentially you would be going from D to A back to A then D

An example would be a round about way to get internet radio content into your server to replay in your car

Has anyone tried this and does the original content carry digital transfer blocking to prevent this?

I figured if I'm thinking about this someone has already tried it

I already have the olive but i dont need to use it. It has not been the most reliable. I'll give the others a try but hijack did not sound all that great when I gave it try a while back.
I looked into it and from what I can tell there is alot of compression to the digital content.
