Default Your suggestion for the following set-up...

Hi there!

Help is needed! I'm currently listening music through my Denon AMP + CDP & KEF IQ3 speakers.

I've read many posts about combinations regarding pc & hi-fi connectivity, but didn't find anything that could satisfy my needs.. huh

I'm running Gigabyte M56S-S3 motherborad with onboard soundcard - moded Creative Labs dtt3500 soundsystem is connected through analog multi-channel output.

My goal is to connect Denon Amp to PC, so i could listen to high quality mp3 tracks via KEF speakers. Gigabyte Motherboard also has the coax output - maybe i could connect some kind of a DAC to it? Or should i buy a new soundcard?

What do you think?

btw. i'm planning to keep Creative soundsystem for the games, moviez, etc.

update: Denon AMP is the PMA-700AE model & CDP is DCD-700AE ... so i'm looking for some mid range DAC (maybe Beresford TC-7510 ???) which could be also used as a headphone amp...

I'm just having doubts regardin' onboard soundcard and coax output as a sound source...?

Also, is it possible to buy some mid range DAC which could be better from Denon's CDP DAC?
