jamestay1:i'm looking for a small ,slim av receiver to connect to my ps3,samsung V+ and pc.
i only want to connect 2 speakers, i looked at hifi amps but they don't have optical connections.
any help would be great.
thanks
A DAC/Integrated Amp or Beresford Caiman/Power Amp combo would fit the bill. Plug your PS3 and V+ into the optical/coaxial digital inputs and the PC into the USB input on the DAC, which then feeds the amp. Most budget DACs are very small, so the extra box would not make that big an impact (something like the MF V-DAC can be tucked away out of sight).
I'm assuming you already have speakers. If not, and your budget allows, then this
complete system would also work nicely. Although, unlike my first suggestion, I'm not sure where you could audition it. Apart from the Five Ways store in Birmingham, I don't know anyone else that stocks them.
