PC Audio FAQ/Primer


I'm trying to hook up my iMac & iPod to my stereo. Since iPod is Firewire it's probably a Firewire solution-unless there's a compelling reason to go USB ( other threads had suggested this, but things may have changed since then).

I'm interested in the best solution for +/- $200 and also some overview of what it is I'm doing. There's a lot of terminology around this that's not exactly clear to me. For example, what's the difference between a soundcard and a DAC?

Thank you!

edesilva, all good advice, but you missed the easiest way to send digital... Apples Airport Express. It will output a digital feed via toslink, all you need is your house t have an 802.11G wireless network and your set! Run it into any receiver/processor/DAC and it's done.
