Digital Dilemma...


I am finally thinking about upgrading from my computer as my main source to a CD player. I have researched a lot today and decided that I'll probably go with the Aiwa XC-37M and Link III DAC, and maybe get the modded in the future.

The problem I have is that I still want to use my computer as a source using it's Toslink (the only digital out) output going into the DAC. This is a problem because the CD transport also only has a Toslink output and will be connected to the DAC, so what can I do? Does the DAC or Aiwa unit have extra digital inputs that I could use as a passthrough for the computer? I wouldn't want to have to switch cables everytime I want to hear a different source.

There is one coax and one optical input only on the MSB. Personally, I would skip the Aiwa CDP idea and just buy a CD player with a coax output, of which there are many to choose from at all price points.
