Best 2 channel for under 300?

Hard to beat Viridian's suggestion. I don't need a recvr but had to stop myself form ordering one just to try it.

I'm looking for an inexpensive stereo receiver as well for my office. The problem is that I need a digital input (either Toslink or coax) because my computer's sound card has only digital outs. Any suggestions?

Uh, why not just buy the receiver referenced above and an older outboard dac by Musical Fidelity, Rotel, AMC, PS Audio or Audio Alchemy? Most are available for around $100.00 used and you would bring the whole project in for under $300.00 with a much better dac than the onboard models in most multi-channel receivers. Heck, the excellent Audio Alchemy Dac In The Box would run under $50.00 or you could have an MSB Link Dac for $150.00 or so. Just my two cents.

Viridian, you make a very good point regarding external DAC + receiver. I usually prefer that route, except for my office system I think simpler is better. But it is very worthy of consideration. Thanks.
