was also wondering if using a stereo to phono cable will distort and mess anything up?

It's not ideal but won't cause you any great problems, worth paying a little more for a reasonable cable in htis case. I go direct digital from the PC and let the AMP do the conversion makes up for the incedibly poor sound card in my medi centre. Most PC's will be able to out put digital only.
