    How to go from digital optical output to XLR digital input?

    I have a device that outputs digital audio via optical, and I need to go into a device that takes an AES3/EBU (XLR) digital input.

    Does anyone know of an adapter, cord, or some other passthrough device than can do this?

    Alternatively, is there something that goes from digital optical to analog stereo RCA?

    I've searched with Google, but I can't find anything.

    But there must be profesional solutions avaible to ?

    Edit:
    Or a simpler solution these are also signal boosting and dejittering devices.

    The original dip is a 90's design I would ask them how they updated their design ?

    This is the function of a DAC isn't it? But I guess your device that takes the AES3/EBU (XLR) digital input might also be a DAC, so maybe there's little point in adding another one to your setup. One of the above mentioned converters might be better if that's case.
