Are those XITEL PC-Link things worth anything?

I find myself with two of those PC-LINK XITEL MD-PORT DG2 devices that Sony used to bundle with the pre NetMD portables. These were the things that you plug into a computer's USB port and it will output the computer's audio as optical digital.

Since I have an extra, I am thinking about selling it. Is it even worth it, or should I just keep it for another computer.

These also make a great way of adding an optical out to a computer for any application.

Well the website makes erroneous statements , MacOSX doesnt support USB Audio ( What Planet is this guy on ???????) Mac is ABOUT audio

Everymajor production company uses Mac , heck my MacbookPro has OPTICAL In and Out on it , via Toslink mini connectors

anyway back to the subject , They are cool small one function devices , that now exist in many forms , to sell it you wouldnt get very much for it . If someone has a Computer that doesnt have Optical out and NEEDS it ( only if they are an audio nut AND on a very old Computer ) then there would be a need to fill , and you could put a smile on their face , by just putting it in their hands .
