Well as far as keeping it simple a stereo integrated unit would work
well for you
Have you checked out Outlaw stuff?
Good stuff with great reviews and factory direct
If your looking for a quality stereo reciever
I believe it even has USB inputs
Follow Ups:
The Outlaw stuff is nice but out of my price range for now.
Is going from the PC straight to CD in from audio out on the sound card better or worse than USB to USB as with the Outlaw piece that has a USB connection?
If USB out from the PC is better and I don't use an amp with a USB connection do I need a DAC?
Iz
Yes
If you use SPDIF or USB or Firewire you have to have something
do the handshake to the analog world and that would be a converter
I believe some of the cheap Best Buy type recievers now have a connect
for outboard devices like the IPOD and so forth
Ok, I'm a little confused, bear with me, I asked is it better or worse to use the sound card's audio out to go to CD in and you said "Yes".
Yes it's better or yes it's worse?
Iz
No Im confused now
:)
You can use the sound cards audio out to go into whatever you wish
That output has been converted to analog
Note the quality of the output is based on the quality of the sound
card
My experience is on board sound cards (built on to motherboards) are
pretty much crap
If you want the better quality you would use and outboard DAC and
use firewire,USB, or optical output of the computer
