Hi Guys, first post!
Seems there are some knowledgeable people here so I will see what I can find for my situation.
I am moving into a new condo and I will no longer have my computer in the living room where I listen to audio on my logitech z-5500's. Instead I am using a laptop computer with a single output for headphones, while the z-5500's require three outputs or a digital output for all of the speakers in 5.1 to function properly. The main computer now has a dedicated office.
I will probably need a usb DAC to make these speakers work decently from the laptop right? I understand that most usb DAC's are designed for headphones, but are there any designs for external speakers? Does it matter much? I am willing to spend ehh.. we'll say $600 or less for something to do the trick =P. I very well could get away with less I'm sure and get some creative labs ones or something, but honestly I doubt they will be sufficient for home audio from high bit-rate tracks. Most of my tracks are at 320 bitrate or better.
What do you guys recommend in my situation? I am keeping my z-5500's to set up in the living room in surround, so what will work best? Thanks!
