Is anyone using the outboad DAC of the Cambridge Audio 840c with a digital transport? how does it compare to its CD playback?

I have an 840c, and the same question occurred to me!
I will be experimenting on my 1st day off.
Here is the proposed signal chain.
Computer w/spdif out. No special soundcard, unless this works out.
Winamp, the freebie version recording and playing back as FLAC........

So far, so good with the Cambridge, though i have been 'dissed' by the Rega Apollo crowd.

You can PM me and we can swap lies. Give me a week or so to figure this out.....maybe longer. On the table are the quality of my D/D conversion in the computer and any special cabling needs.
I understand the coaxial is 75 ohms, but I have not heard of a 75 ohm RCA connector, if such exists.

Stay in touch................
