Hey. I notice this box has an optical out. Has anyone looked into giving it an input instead? Would certainly be tricky, but would be much more useful to me...
To do that you'd have to rewire the PCB drastically. If you want to use the optical-out jack, you'd have to reverse and feed the optical stream bypassing the AD. Maybe some firmware hacking is required too. Given the tiny size, I'd say there's no way a layman can pull this off.
See this long thread about modding the R09, circuit discussions etc:
