I enjoy a good dac (Bel Canto 3.5vb), which is fed a digital stream from my Marantz Sa11 cd player. It improves on the sound of old(ish) but otherwise quite likable spinner that I intend to keep. Now I want a streamer ... 
At the same time, I am thinking of replacing my ancient AV receiver and noticed that Yamaha Aventage 3010 has an optical out. With all the powerful streaming already built into Yamaha, why not stream wav files into the dac through an optical cable? Will it work?
The rest of my stereo system is connected to the preouts of AV receiver and my front speakers (MA PL300) are already doing both stereo and home cinema duties.
