Mac Mini used as a D/A converter


Hi:
I have a music equipment SB3..etc...The question is that I hear most music about a SB3 with a Mac Mini as server...but some music is heared using a Sony 400CD charger...When hearing this, it sounds too "brilliant". The Sony has a digital out (coax and toslink)..The question is if I could use my mini as D/A and how...I read in this forum that the best path is using a USB D/A converter...Anyway I want to test is the Sony works OK using the digital out...

Then the question is if I can connect the Sony to Mini..I think I need a Toslink to MiniTosLink cable...and here my doubt...

Can I use the mac as D/A converter and use then the the Mac Mini analog out...? What software is needed to do this?

With many thanks in advance
