Floor standing speakers for Yamaha A-S500

[gate7nico]

Need some more advice. If I play from my PC I might need a DAC right? I saw somewhere a FiiO which was pretty cheap (cant remember the model). Are those any good?

Your PC will have a DAC already, check out what soundcard you have, you maybe better off upgrading your soundcard rather than buying a DAC. If you want a separate dac I would consider tis one: http://epiphany-acoustics.co.uk/products-page/dacs/e-dac-24bit-miniature-usb-dac/

Yes they all have dacs how else does it convert ditigal into analogue? If its a laptop maybe not easy to upgrade but what output sockets does it have?
