I'm sure with loads of tinkering I might get it there ... But I can't be arsed I don't think!

I'm going to try one more thing though ... The pc has an optical out that last time I tried it fed horrible clicking and hissing noises into the dac whenever I moved around the room ...
Going to try it one more time though ... So ...
I need an optical jack - normal optical connector cable ... Sorry, I've forgotten the correct terms ...
Anyone got one I could borrow? And maybe buy if it works ... No point in buying one if I'm going to have the same issue from the pc again ...
Sorry, can't help you there, Hamish. I do have a nagging feeling, the more I listen to the Busmaster, that the real bottleneck in my system may be upstream. SBT just does not seem to be capable of outputting the best pristine digital signal (the ever so elusive so-called "bit perfect"), as I feel it continues to interject spurious digital noises (and I've tried everything under the sun to tame that noise, replaced the noisy switching PSU with a good linear one, killed all the unnecessary processes on SBT, etc.)

So you may end up stuck with your Majik as a transport. I honestly don't believe you can coach your PC into sounding nearly as good as Majik, unless you're an engineering genius... Sorry to pee on your parade
