If I connect a computer to a DAC via S/PDIF, do I only get output from an optical drive, or do I also get hard drive output?

It works a bit different.
You have a media player and you choose an audio device (on board speakers, SPDIF, Bluetooth) whatever is available.
Whatever this media players is playing (CD, HD, interet radio, streaming service) will be send to the audio device
