Are there portable pre-amps with optical out? I can't find any.

No. I want something small and cheap that will effectively give me a microphone with SPDIF out

<p>How about something like this?</p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Radio-Shack-Digital-Toslink-S-Video/dp/B000HULNEK">http://www.amazon.com/Radio-Shack-Digital-Toslink-S-Video/dp/B000HULNEK</a></p><p>I have one myself, and have found it to be quite useful in many different situations. What&#39;s cool about it is that it will convert in either direction, and does so without the need for a switch or any settings change. Not really a pre-amp per-se, but, it would work with an output sent from a small mixing board. Or you could possibly try a 1/4 inch cabled microphone adapted to an RCA Male jack (but I haven&#39;t ever had to test this specific configuration myself).</p><p>Hope that helps.
