Digital stream to a computer via Toslink or coax

Sure - you just need a sound card for the PC that has that interface. Many manufacturers support this interface now. I have used an M-Audio 2496 Audiophile sound card for a few years in a music server - it has coax input and output, as well as analog ins and outs. Very affordable, works great.

It's possible to make the connection you're talking about as Kthomas says but please describe what you're trying to accomplish by doing that. There may be other ways to get there, as well.

Hi Guys:

Thanks for your interest in coaching me through this.

I am running several options through my head.

I recently took delivery of an Olive Opus. I really love having the music stored on the hard drive, playlists, network capability etc.

I also have an interest in trying the Burwen Bobcat software & Daniel Hertz's USB DAC for playback in my listening room. http://www.burwenaudio.com/BURWEN_BOBCAT.html

The Opus cannot stream the audio from its USB ports. However, it does have Toslink & Coax audio outputs.
So, going into a notebook computer from the Opus via Toslink or Coax was one consideration, if a copmputer can import the music via these types of connections.

I have also been re-thinking the whole thing with a completely different hardware configuration, which does not include the Opus.

I have some more research to do on this. Once I make my decision & move forward, I will report back with how things worked out.

By the way, which would you recommend, if I go this route, Toslink or coax?

Thanks!
