Peter,

What are you planning to listen via your PC? laptop? mp3? streaming radio? WAV. files?

There are few sound cards that offer analogue outs. but, I have not tried to see if they are worth any. And you are right in that built-in DAC on lap top is not good at all even played via stereo systems.
A humble mp3 played with a decent DAC acutally gives you better sound.

The best way to play tunes via PC or laptop ( I use Mac Titanium ), is to get a decent external DAC and from this analogue outs connect to your preamp. Otherwise, I can guarantee it's headache inducing.

Hi!

I use an U2A connected via optical link to my CD recorder which is connected to my preamp. I switch the CD recorder to monitor mode so I can use the DAC of the CD recorder.
