i run two systems at the moment: 1. pc -usb-> waveterminal u24 -coax digital-> sa-xr55 in my office. 2.laptop pc -usb-> u24 -analog cable-> levinson in my living rm. The noise in the living room system is a major degradation, for which i am postponing a remedy, intending to try belkin cablefree wireless usb when available (sept?). you may get lass noise in your first option. will be away for a week sorry in advance for any delaye in responses.
Notebook digital vs analog out to digital amp?
Please let me know which is better:
Audigy ZS -> decent optical out cable-> Panasonic sa-xr55 digital amp -> Silverline SR-17
vs.
Audigy ZS -> decent RCA -> $2-300 Rotel/Marantz...-> Silverline SR-17
On the one hand I think I can give the Panasonic a bit-perfect signal with the optical out. On the other hand there's more flexibility in the amplifier if I go with an standard RCA connection.
Or is there a better solution to getting audio out of a notebook on the cheap? Anything better than an audigy around that price? Thanks.
