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!

Pretty much all my listening these days is FLAC files played over a wireless connection to a Squeezebox Duet reciever with a coaxial connection to my 840C. I'm very happy with the sound. The Squeezebox Touch is supposed to have a better digital output according to some Touch beta testers, but I'm not sure I want to spend the extra money on a touch interface I don't need. The Touch will do 24/96, though; the Duet is only 24/48 max.
