the TM-D1000 is a 4-buss mixer with aux stereo outputs + monitor outs. So that gives you 4 mono outs, 2 stereo outs, 2 Spdif, and 1 TDIF (basically a DB25 type connection). But the Ark converters are better than the TMD for inputing into your DAW. If you already have the Ark, you'd be better off...
