![]() $300 is certainly doable, but at that price, I'm wondering if I should consider other solutions entirely, such as maybe a Squeezebox Duet (same price, more functionality?), or a different reciever with digital input (probably more than $300, but provides additional functionality and future-proofing)? Stereo sound is really the priority here, I don't care much about additional channels. The GefenTV Digital Audio Decoder takes audio encoded in Dolby Digital (at up to 5.

Everything is digital up to that Gefen DAC, so I'm wondering if it's the DAC. The problem is the sound is pretty, well, flat? If I do A/B testing of a CD from my CD-player (Denon DCM 370) compared to an uncompressed audio file played from the computer, the CD sounds MUCH better. The Gefen GefenTV GTV-DD-2-AA Dolby Digital to Analog Audio Decoder takes audio encoded in Dolby Digital (at up to 5. So I'm running a 50' length of digital coax from the soundcard to a little GefenTV DAC, and then 1m of interconnect to the receiver. ![]() It sounded fine, but I just moved, and the new arrangement is a bit of a long distance for analog. I used to run analog from my computer to my receiver (Denon DRA-685). ![]() I hope you might have some insight into my current problem.
