What is the nature of the Audio Line Out connection on the back of my Desktop?  Is thisdigital output?  Do I need a digital cable with SPDIF connectors?  I am looking for digital output that I can send to an external DAC.

 

Thanks for any suggestions

That model has two audio output ports on the back as shown in this picture.

#1 is digital optical

#2 is analog audio output

 

If the external DAC cannot accept either forum, then it can be converted to whatever is needed.

Thanks very much.  I was hoping for an SPDIF digital output.  I assume I could get a card for that.

 

Aappreciate your help very much.
