That's a classic piece.  A bit old, but classic.  Maybe collectable.

Search for "integrated amp" and "optical".  Let me know if you find  
anything interesting.  Good luck.  Try Radio Shack again too.

Unfortunately, as I was explaining in previous message, that is not a  
mass market category.  Now it's a "high end" category.  So while you  
can find things like that, they are probably going to be very  
expensive, like the Naim Supernait, for $4950.  Musical Fidelity  
makes one for only $1495.

If you want something cheapest, you'll probably have to settle for a  
lot of extras, like FM tuning, that you didn't really want.

More is less, and less is more.
