You don't like to use the PC analog outputs... you don't like to run WiFi... you don't like to use USB... you don't like to use Firewire...

I'm assuming you're using Toslink or coaxial, then. Or am I missing something?

Not saying that wouldn't be good way to go, just wondering how you're actually getting the music off your PC.

mr. woodford asked the same question.
The ones I can think of are: AES-EBU, ADAT, and SPDIF over optical or coax.

  But then how to you avoid your other point:
  
  Electrically coupling the audio system to the PC
  
  I guess that eliminates AES/EBU and SPDIF coax and leaves only optical Toslink...
  
  How do you get ADAT out of your computer?

    'How do you get ADAT out of your computer?'
    
    The EMU 1212M provides:
    
    24-bit/192kHz ADAT In/Out (switchable to S/PDIF)
    
    as follows:
    
    ADAT:
    - 8 channels, 24-bit @ 44.1/48kHz
    - 4 channels, 24-bit @ 96kHz (S-MUX compatible)
    - 2 channels, 24-bit @ 192kHz
    
    I don't know about other products.
