Connecting PC to Dac

My PC has only headphone out plus the usual USB sockets. What's the best way to get 'sound' into my Beresford TC7510. I was wondering if I could connect a cable from a USB to my Airport Express and from there into the DAC?

It's for an office system often replaying MP3's so top quality not an issue.

Thank you.
 
If you already have a DAC with Toslink (optical) input and an Airport Express, all you need is a mini-Toslink to Toslink optical cable and wireless network card/adapter for your computer. The USB port on the Airport Express is only good for hooking up printers. Airport Express itself is good for only when you absolutely cannot have a wired connection to your DAC. And then it can be unreliable and can drop out somewhat frequently.

If you can place the DAC close to the computer, and already have a DAC with no USB input, you could buy any one of the USB to coaxial or optical interfaces on the market. Edirol makes a cheap one, but the HiFace might sound better.
