Need a little help......

Looking on e-bay, which has become quite a disease lately and I came across this little gem. Not sure how to interpret this thing.
I need help identifying where/how this can be used. More specifically the outputs look like perhaps they are balanced. And the input looks like it's a serial cable for a computer. If the price is right I might pick this up, but so far I can see no way to connect it properly. Perhaps this was a pro-audio piece.
Can anyone shed some info or guesses as to how to use this in a typical 2-ch set-up.

Ok after a quick search, which yielded very little, I found a discussion board in the Netherlands with some pics. All the print is foriegn. It appears this unit is supposed to be mated with a CD-M7 transport. Apparently is propietary and can only be hooked via a serial cable.
Guess this isn't going to work for what I want it too, unless someone knows how to make/purchase a serial to rca cable.
