Cambridge 840C as a DAC


Is anyone using the digital inputs on their 840C as a DAC for computer or server based music. If so, what is the specific set up and, more importantly, how does it sound?

Looking at my laptop, it does not have a Toslink out so I am curious to know how I'd connect it.

Thanks!

I use my 840C's DACs with a Squeezebox Classic and this is a huge improvement over the internal SB DAC. And because I use a wireless router at home I can listen to lossless uploaded CDs via iTunes through the SB into the 840C. This is an exceptional solution and works very well.
Magfan: I have not had that experience. I wonder about that TOSLINK cable though...
