Hi,
I'd like to take advantage of my CA 740's DAC with my PC based music; i've spent a few hours looking at cables, forums etc and I'm probably more confused now than I was.
My Compaq desktop only has a basic soundcard and no optical option. I cannot find an optical to 3.5mm stereo jack cable(or convertor). Pretty certain the headphone socket doesn't double up as an optical like newer models.
My thinking is that my easiest option is to get an external soundcard with optical options on it and connect this via Optical cable to the Cambridge?
Many thanks in advance.
