...OK....you youngsters. What is the best way and "Cheapest" way to get audio from my PC to my main 2 channel RIG. CHEAP is important.
I have a Dell Optiplex GX270 with a 500Gig hard drive that I plan on filling with MUSIC. Don't need the best for these rigs.
Present - audio from Chainteck 7.1 (digital) - to MSB Link Dac III out to 2 channel . Need cheap comparable.
USB......

Can't get much cheaper then this. Plug it to the green hole on your sound card and run your RCA's from it to your receiver. Done!
