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

For live streams I use Radio Lover, what goes in, comes out, unless you want to change format.....nothing to it really, great for capturing obscure web radio streams and has a some really slick features such as scheduling, auto tag and split tracks on the fly into folders etc.....Which I then burn to disc, transfer to iPOD etc...you can easily record over 10 high-quality 128kbps streams at the same time.

Audio HiJack Pro is also well cool and does exactly what it says on the website, as REL said above...AIFF is NOT compressed dude !
