I'm looking for a device that can output a digital audio signal (USB/SPDIF/Bluetooth) and an analog audio signal (3.5mm/RCA) simultaneously. Between the two, I need the digital audio signal to be of high quality.

One solution I can think of is:
A DAP with spdif out -> spdif splitter
-> digital audio​
-> a DAC with spdif in -> analog audio​

With this I'd have to find a DAC with spdif in, which can be a substantial box. Is there a better route that I haven't thought of? Is there an Android machine that can be hacked to output 3.5mm audio while outputting to a USB DAC?

Exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you!
I've perhaps found a solution with more but smaller boxes:

A Samsung smartphone with Dual Audio feature, or a DAP with USB-C output + a dual streaming Nintendo Switch BT adapter ->
-> digital audio​
-> a BT receiver -> analog audio​
But D10 is definitely the way to go if I want the highest quality digital signal.
