Computer to Reciever ?


I have a friend who wants to hook up a laptop computer to his 5 year old Denon reciever. What is the most simple, cost effective way to do this while maintaining good sound quality? Thank you for any suggestions!

You can use a headphone jack adaptor that splits into L&R Female jacks and run the interconnects into reciever, I have done that before and it works great, not super great but hey its only $5.00......try it.
An M-Audio Transit. It converts USB to TosLink for under $100. If I remember right it gets it power from the USB port.
Hey Mik;

Just a minor warning. I love my squeezebox....but understand it won't play itunes downloaded music.

Not a problem for me...I just want to listen to my CDs...in total random order.
Anyone using the Trends Audio USB dac on a PC? Do you need to use the ASIO driver also?

Most of the files I have are 320K bit rate. How do these sound for non-critical listening?

I have way to many tunes to use FLAC or WAV files.
