No. The RCA's are output only on the SD793. You need to add a digital out with one of these and an RCA wire to the Coaxial input.
I own the SMSL 793II and had this same issue after changing my motherboard, then someone linked this
Thanks for your answer!
I guess this should work (Amazon)? 16 bit and 48 kHz are enough for me.
There are suprisingly few low-cost options for USB to S/PDIF, while decent and cheap DACs are so abundant.
I have a Theta DS Pro basic. It's an older DAC so there's no USB input. I send a signal to it from my computer via my ifi headphone amp which has an SPDIF out. I would like to have my headphone amp back, so I'm thinking about buying a standalone USB to SPDIF converter. Will buying a more expensive one actually have any noticeable difference in audio quality over a cheap one like this one on Amazon?
Your best cheap option is the SMSL SD-793ii. It's a DAC/AMP combo that has both optical and coaxial in but no USB connection (so you'll need this adapter if you want to use it with a laptop. This is what I currently use with my PS4 and laptop and it does a good job. I'd recommend the Amazon Basics Optical Cable. Not really sure about a good coaxial cable as mine is just some random one I got on Ebay.
However, I'm soon going to be upgrading to the Schiit Modi/Magni Uber stack (the Modi Uber has optical in), which is a better option if you have the money for it. Although, if this is strictly for your PS4 then the SD-793ii is all you need.

This already has a DAC built in with optical and coax inputs, just no USB. You could connect the TV to the optical and get a cheap USB->Coax source for the Mac. If it were me though, I would get the last gen Apple Tv and AirPlay to it instead of using a wired connection from the MacBook.
Would this be what I'm looking for? Or would it be something else?
EDIT: Would this work too? Or this Turtle Beach one? Or this StarTec one? Or this Behringer UCA202?
