I am thinking of replacing my entire HiFi system apart from the Mission
783s, rather than going the traditional route I'd like to get a media pc
with tv tuner, dvd player and etc. then a decent AV integrated amp.

The question is this; is it possible to make a direct digital connection
from the pc dvd/cd drive to the av amp and use the amp's DAC? If so what
will the sound quality be like compared to a dedicated DVD/CD player
connected to the same amp?

I have searched google to see if this has been covered with no luck.

The digital out from the back of the CD drive is a logic-level version
of SPDIF. There's plenty of info on the web to show you the attenuator
and connection required to feed a normal co-ax SPDIF input on a DAC.
