I am getting a new computer soon....are optical connections standard now or is it something i need to specialized?

Thanks all!!!

See the UA5 FAQ (http://www.taperssection.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=14389.0).  (Yes, not audibly to most ears)

Connect your UA5 to your PC via USB, S/PDIF coax or optical.  For S/PDIF coax or optical, you need a soundcard that supports those inputs.
