Cambridge 840C as a DAC

I use the 840c DAC inputs with an iPod Classic 160GB/Wadia 170i Transport via Creative Cable Concepts Green Hornet digital coaxial cable and it sounds incredible. I can't stop listening!

Usually the audio output on a Mac is combined to also allows use of a mini toslink cable. If not you may need to use a USB to SPDIF converter to connect to the 840c.

My laptop isn't a Mac, but obviously my iPhone is. I'd rather be running out of the pc.

You need a new sound card, either internal or external with a digital output.

I use my 840C's DACs with a Squeezebox Classic and this is a huge improvement over the internal SB DAC. And because I use a wireless router at home I can listen to lossless uploaded CDs via iTunes through the SB into the 840C. This is an exceptional solution and works very well.

Face, When you say a 'Sound Card' is that something I can connect to my computer through a usb output that then has the appropriate digital connections for the 840?
