greetings,

i have a sony viao laptop that has USB and headphone outputs.

i want to connect to my cyrus DAC is it possible to convert the usb to a digital coax in anyway or will i just have to connect using the headphone jack straight to my amp?

regards chin

Which Cyrus DAC is it? And does it have an optical input? I would expect the Sony to have an optical digital output, usually combined with the headphone socket

Which Vaio model do you have...?

The DAC-X has two optical inputs, so you could use one of these

between the laptop's USB and one of the DAC's optical inputs, assuming there isn't already an optical out on the Vaio.

thanks for the excellent help all,

my last question is..... would a dedicated sounblaster dvice such as a notebook soundcard improve the sound quality coming from my laptop than say the device mentioned that just converts usb to optical out?
