Hi,
I have been using USB to send music to my Stello DAC100 (with great success) for the past few years but want to switch over to s/pdif optical cable. I have a Dell computer (Studio 8100) with a Sound Blaster Audigy sound card that appears to be arranged specifically for the Dell.
Where I am now...
Not sure what to try next, any suggestions would be welcome.

Where I am now...
- Audigy has a s/pdif port
- All software is fully updated
- I have the cable
- It fits into both the computer and the DAC
- In Windows Sounds - I've set the Sound Blaster S/Pdif to be the default device.
- When I play music the animated levels bars indicate that the music is being sent through the spdif channel (and the USB no longer works on the DAC, which is right)
Not sure what to try next, any suggestions would be welcome.
