| help choosing cable pc to dac. I take it that your sound card has the 3.5mm output. I see no reason a 3.5mm to dual RCA cable would not work for you. | |

| help choosing cable pc to dac. I use a USB?SPDIF converter with older DACs. The V-link, as suggested by markomaras, can be had inexpensively. What will you be streaming in way of file type? | |
| WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH WATTS? Larstusor, a 100wpc amp at 8 ohms that doubles into 4 ohms will be all the power you would need to drive your speakers. In this case I would advise spending your amp budget on quality vs. quanity watts. | |
| WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH WATTS? +1 Lowrider. Look for a quality amp that doubles down in watts from 8 to 4 ohms. I run a BEL 1001 MK5. It is rated at 50 into 8ohms, 100 into 4, and 200 into 2. It will drive many speakers better than many 100 wpc amps will. | |

| DAC or CD Player. Help! Rsa, as with oddiofyl, and something I should have mentioned prior, I also use my DAC for both a disc player and computer audio (via USB/SPDIF converter). I enjoy the synergy my DAC brings together with my Pre, amp, and speakers. This synergy s m... | |
| DAC or CD Player. Help! I agree that if a disc players transport and digital output is functioning as it should, the DAC used would likely make the greatest contribution to the sonics provided.I believe that the concept of synergy in the development of a audio system is ... | |
| Replacing a MAC Mini with new one... Thanks for the confirmation Spencer! As I have time prior to making a move, I plan on continuing my research on this, and looking into the possibility of a server. There is a Bryston BDP-1 for sale here on AG. May look into that as an alternative... | |
