Send music from computer to Receiver?

My sound card did not sound good when I did this. I bought an outboard USB dac which works and sounds great. Try stereo-link.com to buy one of these. I think they are around $129.

Why don't you just buy the CD or LP at a record store- Support the artists. Think of it as a contribution to their creative endeavours and the future of music...

Thanks Sogood51 and lucishow@yahoo.com for your help. I will look at the site you said.
lucishow@yahoo.com I still buy plenty of cd's. Thanks.

I do this with my laptop all the time, we get files on the work LAN, then when I get home I have a cable from my headphone output on the laptop, and I plug this into the AUX L/R inputs on the receiver, and fire away !!

The quality sounds fine to me, but being an audiophile I am starting investigations to see what the actual quality is in Hz, bits, etc

Many savy owners of small CD stores have discovered that, by putting CDs onto the computer and then using a fairly high-end stereo system to demonstrate just about anything in the store makes for lots of sales.

I happened to be in Mendocino(Northern California) a while back and I wondered into Red Rooster Records and I loved listening to his imports. The owner listened to my tastes and, after a couple of hours, I walked away with about $250.00 worth of CDs. Almost none of which had I ever heard of.
