laptop to analog, any suggestions?


I'm looking for a good way to hook my PC up to my stereo. The output on my laptop is a noisy 1/8" jack, so i was thinking maybe an external d/a converter. Do they work off of a USB connection to a computer, and how would i play MP3 files?

Thanks for your help,
Dan

You didn't state a price range, but if you're looking for something a little less expensive than the Benchmark, I use one of these:

I haven't compared it to other USB DACs, but it's a considerable improvement over the DAC in my iBook G4. Sound quality is much higher and noise floor is much lower.

Your computer will just see it as another sound output, so your MP3 software or anything else can use it.
