Any luck getting this to work? I just bought a C90/4000X for home use to attach
to toslink out from my computer and eager to try this.

Just as I'd mentioned, pop a CD in the C90 having it set to digital out and instead
of using the optical in for the HU, use a secondary source. About the only
solution I'd come across but worked fine for me.

Brand new owner here, hopefully I can help bring back activity...very big high
end sound system being built and it will be controlled by the C90/XDP4000X after
years of trying other solutions that were either inferior, cost prohibitive
or not flexible enough. I will share my progress!
