There really aren't any receivers with a digital output. If you have
a Soundblaster Live, which has RCA SPDIF out, all you need is a SPDIF
to TOSLINK optical convertor. www.midiman.net sells a little box called
the CO2 which will go both ways between coaxial and optical.
You can also build your own convertor from schemos at
