My friend is trying to create a professional audio setup for his stream. Because he is streaming from an Xbox I am trying to find a DAC that supports a SPDIF input (or passthrough) so he can hear his gameplay from the Xbox, XLR mic input for interacting with viewers and teamates, and headphone output. I know I could set it up with multiple devices but I am trying to consolidate everything so cable management is a bit easier.

I suspect you will need to get a separate DAC and a mic/line level mixer with headphone amp built in. I don't think you need a USB mixer from your description.

Only one extra cable from the DAC to the mixer compared to the DAC being built in to the mixer. If the Xbox is set to output in 5.1 you need one that can accept that like this one
