1) digital inputs and outputs: 1x SPDIF coax, 1x SPDIF optical, 1x HS-Link (Accuphase specific)
2) DAC yes, but no volume control
3) analog inputs and outputs: XLR and Cinch; allows insertion into a tape loop or between preamp and poweramp with the built in ADC/DAC
4) option: switching multiple digital inputs with a digital detangler from z-sys.com, if you can find one; though the company might be out of business
