Come to think of it a complete sound card would be overkill I think. A good Digital to Analog converter like the xitel pro if it is still available would do the trick. And of course if you like hi fidelity audio I would suggest you do not encode under 320 kbps if using mp3 or if at all possible some kind of lossless format.

Rip all your music to your computer's hard drive; get a high-quality sound card; patch its output into an auxiliary input on your amplifier; and use Winamp or another media player to play your music. That's what I do. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colin Phelan" <colin_phe...@yahoo.co.uk> To: <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2011 3:43 PM Subject: Accessable Hard Drive for Hi Fi > Hi All, > > I wonder if you can assist. > For use whilst on the move I rip all my music directly to MP3. > I still use a traditional hi fi for listening at home I would like for > a few reasons to pack away the c d 's and use something I can connect > to my hi fi to listen to music at home. > I am using a basic separates system that includes a Cyrus amplifyer > with little or no fancy connections. > I do not need an ipod for listening on the move otherwise I may go > down that route. > Is there some sort of hard drive I could use that is accessible and I > can just copy all the MP3's to. > Yes when it comes to hi fi I am about 15 years out of date but hey the > Cirus amp used to be leading edge and it still works! > Thanks for your assistance > Colin > > > > > > To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: > pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org > > __________ NOD32 5759 (20110104) Information __________ > > This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. > http://www.eset.com > > To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
