Sound card processing TO external DAC?

[Microsoft_Word]

I own two DACs: the Scarlett 2i2 and the Creative Soundblaster Z. The Soundblaster has audio processing capabilities (DTS and Dolby, EQ, etc.) but the Scarlett does not. There is no way to connect these 2 via cable since the Scarlett uses USB and the Soundblaster only has optical and analogue output. I would like to be able to use the Soundblaster to process audio but instead of having it use its' onboard DAC send the processed digital audio out of the motherboard USB to the Scarlett. Is there any way this can be achieved? Thanks!

Wait a moment - you want to send ANALOG signal through USB? Soundblaster uses DAC (Digital to Audio Converter) that give you analog OUTPUT directly to jack or rca, not to USB. USB can receive and send only digital signal.
