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

I am using a Emu 1616M. Very open and spacious sound. Excel image layering. Best $499 I've ever spent in audio.

Get the Squeezebox 3 or transporter. I promise you that you will not regret it. It will revolutionize the way you listen to music.
Agent_kang, is it possible to connect the squeezebox over a large network (i.e. a college network in a dorm) and can it play music directly from a network harddrive without a computer in the middle?
Dk89; Squeezebox should work ok over a large network in a college dorm if the networks isn't too congested. I don't think it can play directly off a network hard drive - there is a sever component that is needed. However if you mount the network hard drive to the server you can play that to the SB.
