Connect Laptop to DAC or preamp


Hello,
I've been spending a lot of time lately on you tube and have discovered some awesome concerts..... Would love to play this through my main stereo versus using headphones.

I know I can use the headphone out and convert to RCA connects and go into my preamp. Prefer not to as it does not provide the best in audio quality.

I have a AUNE DAC/Headphone amp with a USB input. Can I use the USB port on my Laptop connected to the USB port on the DAC? Would like to use the external DAC if possible.

Or, any other connect approaches that offer good sound quality?

Thanks!!!!!

You sure can. Set sound output to USB speakers if the laptop does not immediately recognize the AUNE. And run w volume on PC wide open and control volume w your main rig. You will, however, find that the resolution of the u-tube audio is fair at best.
