HowdyFor a quick intro check out http://www.edirol.com or http://www.motu.com
Many PC sound cards (both consumer and pro) support TOSLink and S/PDIF. Also USB DACs are becoming popular.
But for serious sound quality you need a pro audio card which keeps the clock and data separate, etc. I've been out of the market for a while so I won't make any specific recommendations.
FWIW: For quick and dirty blind and double blind interconnect tests I wire up my multichannel DAC with identical digital inputs (from a Nirvis DXS crosspoint digital switch) and put up to three sets of test interconnects between the DAC and my pre-amp. I then let either let my computer or the test subject use the preamp input select to change interconnects. This works quite well, but I've discovered that for the level of certainty (or differences, depending on how you look at it) I care about I get the same results with blind tests on my daughter and wife so I don't usually bother these days.
