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 http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/docs/audio/spdif.html
