This is helpful and does seem simple, thank you. I guess I arrive back at my previous issue trying to determine if streaming through my CCA is better than plugging my laptop into it.You would take a toslink cable that has one side with the mini tos tip or an adapter:

Plug the skinny end into the same hole you'd plug your analog cable into.

Then plug the fat end into one of these inputs on your receiver.

And then select that input from your remote or input selector. That's it.
When streaming through my CCA I was not able to find a parametric EQ that worked while streaming to it either from my phone or computer. So I switched to my laptop in order to be able to apply a system wide parametric EQ app (which significantly improved my sound).
Would using this same cable improve quality if I use it with my laptop, or perhaps it does not have the "optical" capability? It is a 2010 macbook pro someone gave to me, so until I can get a better laptop it is my best option.
