Old subject, slightly changing facts. In theory, it's possible because the
MAS (a proprietary DSP) allows download of small code pieces. So it could be
envisioned to load a simple program in there, which just passes the data to
its DAC with the correct timing. But there's 2 problems to it:

1) We have no details about the MAS, no clue on how to program it.

2) WAV needs substantially higher transfer rates on the serial link. I don't
think it can be cranked up to 1.5 MBit/s necessary for CD rate, with the
software bit flipping etc.
