Well, I am stirred up.
I just check my existing desktop and find that it do has an optical s/pdif out port.
I also digged out my antique Sharp 821 24bit ATRAC (never try optical stuffs before).
I woul ...

I am using Sharp 721 too!
1. I think you can try mp3 first. There should be  improvements already if you are using traditional jacket and onboard soundcard.
If you insist, use the software called EAC (EXACT AUDIO COPY) to copy CD bit-perfect from CD to WAVE format first. No need to try FLAC at the moment

I think it may be good to have the test as simple as possible. Use existing mp3 first - but make sure the mp3s are above 256Kb at least. Otherwise the sources are too POOR. 320Kb is the best.

What speakers you're using???

2. Regarding optical cables, I think ordinary ones will do (just for testing ma). I haven't checked for price for a long time. But there're some selling at Yahoo (ranging from $ 45 to 100):

And I often go here for shopping stuff like this:

It's in SSP anyway.

Or you can just buy it from an ordinary AV shop.

I have a spare one, I can lend to you. Of course you may save the trouble and buy it directly . But where do you live?

3. No special programme is needed for output optical, since you will be using the soundcard. The better thing about using optical than 'green jacket' is the DAC part is done externally.

4. Foobar2000 is free. It can't do 1 or 3.

Good luck!
