While I've never seen the inside of an R30 (or any other minidisc unit)
I would be very surprised to see a standalone DAC in there,
I would think that there would be one chip that took ATRAC'd data
in one end and put analog audio out the other.
And even if there was a seperate DAC in there, the data stream to
that DAC wouldn't have the overhead of SPDIF, it would be a
simple serial data stream, since everything internally would be running
off the same clock sources you dont need all the clock encoding or
the copy bits etc.
