Thing is, the TOSLink connector is usually on the motherboard, and I

But USB would offer the same pure digital path, and the
amplifier accepts USB. Both are plugged into the UPS,
so maybe I should just go for it. (I've just had bad luck with
USB audio before, but perhaps that is a thing of the past.)
