Sony PS3 Optical Out to a DAC?


Does any one know if the Sony PS3 Optical Out on the rear panel is for an Audio stream. If so, can one purchase a decent quality DAC like the cambridge (sells for $495), use the PS3 as the transport mechanism feed the signal to the DAC and get a significantly better quality CD signal then an equivalent $495 DC player.

I tried to hook up my PS3 to m y Wadia S7i glass cable and all I heard was a loud fluttering noise.
Michelle_kim, "With the ps3 the biggest improvement for me was when I set the audio to 44.1khz. The default 48khz sounded pretty dead." Why is that?
