I'm with you there in being new to computer audio. As this is a secondary system another option you might consider is the Xantech BT6 bluetooth audio dock. Lists for around $130.00, got mine at Costco's for about half that. This would connect to a analog input in to your integrated amp. This assumes your computer is bluetooth capable. Can also be used with ipod touch and ipad as well. I have one for each of my three systems. Really cool and sound not too shabby.
New to computer audio and simple question....
I just purchased a Bel Canto 300i Int amp with built in 24/96 USB Dac. I am using this as a second system driving some smaller floor standing speakers. I have an Apple iMac computer in another room (about 30 feet away on the same floor)loaded with itune songs. I want to somehow have my iMac computer loaded with itune songs feed my Bel Canto USB dac wireless. I know I need to purchase some kind of unit that will make this possible. What do I need?
I don't want to spend anymore than $300-$400 new or used. Like to spend less really, but want good sound. I know this may seem like a dumb question, but this is my first attempt into computer based audio. My wife would also like to play Pandora and other such digital stations...
