Re: Help on amp & speaker choice required

I've just read this thread and I'm pretty sure it was mentioned that your pc did not have anything other than mini jacks as audio connection. Hopefully I'm not replaying what someone else has said but you only need a new soundcard to get coaxial, optical RCA etc., you can pick up a decent one for £30.

That is an option.... but what I was thinking was, why upgrade the soundcard when you can get a decent USB DAC? Unless of course the DACs in the soundcard are much better than the USB based ones with external power source??
