Connecting the NAD C700 V2 to Windows 11 PRO and system integration

Hi everyone,

I\`m currently in the process of replacing my old Yamaha A720, which is paired with ELAC Debut Reference DFR 52 speakers, with a NAD C700 V2. The main use case will be office work, Windows system audio playback, and occasional Hi-Res music listening via Tidal, etc.

I\`m wondering how to connect it via HDMI, as I\`ve read that it won\`t work properly with a PC. I could use the optical TOSLIN connection, however I\`ve heard that it may not provide full audio quality, and the salesperson at the audio store advised against that connection.

Right now, my Yamaha is connected via a 3.5 mm jack to the ALC 1220 onboard audio. One of the reason

I\`m buting the NAD is to have everything integrated in one device and avoid buing an external DAC.

What would be the simplest and most reasonble way to ceonnect it so that everyting works properly and seamlessy? :)
