Newbee building a retro sound system from scratch. DCM speakers

Hi everyone,
I am a total newbee in audio, but I tend to discover more of it for myself. Also it is a part of a good investment.
I just need to be pointed in the right direction of what do I need to accomplish my goal.
I have a pair of DCM TIME WINDOW serial: 28788 and also planning on getting either Mcintosh 4100 or Marantz 2015b. What else do I need to hook everything up and play for now from a laptop.

Thank you,

Oleksandr

I remember them in the '80's. I liked them a lot, but like twoleftears, I was broke.
Regarding your question, you will need a DAC to translate the digital signal to analog.
May I recommend an Ayre Codex?
You can get them used for $1500 or so.
Also, Schiit Gungnir or Yggy. They are in the same price range.
I like both of these manufacturers because they offer upgrades to their equipment, and since Digital to analog is constantly evolving, I enjoy not being required to buy a new unit because they found a better recipe.
