RE: What type of Laptop? You can use USB or Toslink depending....

It is not that difficult
2 devices can only communicate if they share a common connection.
So what are the outputs of the PC and what are the inputs of the DAC.

Some PC's and all Macs do have optical out (Toslink)
If yout DAC has a Toslink input, this is a easy way to connect them.
If your PC doesn't but for sure your DAC has a SPDIF input, a USB to SPDIF converter will bridge the gap.
A bit more about connecting a PC and a DAC in the link below.
