Coaxial or Toslink digital output from a PC

Dear friends, I am looking for a way to connect a Bel Canto Dac-2 to a PC. Would love to get a card with coaxial digital output but will settle for one with Toslink. Want to use my I-Tunes library when I have friends over, don't want them using my Linn Ikemi after a few drinks. The Apple Airport don´t sound right, would like something better. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks,

Why dont you get an adapter for the AE so you can use the Toslink output to drive a glass fiber cable to your Bel canto DAC? Sounds quite good. Even better when modified to have a Coax output. Your Bel Canto is not my cup of tea, but that is personal preference.

Many thanks to all, will check the Xitel option and a cable from Hewlett Packard that plugs into the pc and has a
digital coaxial output. Regards

Hepl - The Air Port Express has a optical Digital out in the same jack as the audio out. Check below under interfaces. Sorry I can't tell you more because I don't have one but I did notice this feature when I was looking at it in the store.
