Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Hello John, How close are the two rooms your computer and stereo systems are in? I'm asking because if there too far away from each other, then the best way to go about that is to use a FM radio transmitter. All depending where you look, they can be gotten for as little as $35 or as much as $300. Hope this helps. My best regards.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Hi John, I used a 25 foot stereo cable with one y-cable having a mail transister jack on one end (these are the standard for headphones on small walkmen etc.) On the other end are two female rca jacks (in my day we called these pin jacks. You would plug the male rca jacks from one end of your 25 foot stereo cable into the female jacks on the y-cable. Plug the male transister jack into the out of your pc. this is where you normally plug in speakers. Plug the two remaining mail rca jacks into the in jacks of your stereo system. Now when your stereo is on the augsiliary setting. Now when using your computer it should come through your stereo. - Original Message - From: "DJ DOCTOR P" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, August 13, 2010 3:20 AM Subject: Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's Hello John, How close are the two rooms your computer and stereo systems are in?

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Hi John, I listen daily to music from my computer on my home stereo and through my bose wave radio on my deck. I do this by employing a good fm transmitter. Connect it to the output of your sound card and you can then broadcast to your equipment. I have been using this solution for years. I can even listen to my music and podcasts in a car in my driveway. Hope this helps.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Only my opinion but you can't go past a sound card or board with a digital output, if your system has a digital input then connect it to the digital output of your sound card, you'll notice one huge difference in doing this than if you were to say connect your computers sound card headphone or line-out jack to an aux in on a Hi-Fi system.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Hello Dan, I have my computer and stereo system hooked up like that right now. But only, I'm using an old Fisher 500-c stereo receiver that has vacuum tubes in it that was made in 1963. My speakers are comprised of 2 Jensen P12N alnico drivers in each cab that are crossed over to 20 HZ for woofers and a Jensen 8QR alnico driver in each cab that are crossed over to 60 HZ for mid ranges and 4 horns in each cab that are also crossed over to 256 HZ for the high end. I get pretty close to studio quality sound from this set up, and it sounds grate! I did once have a pare of 32 watt mono block tube amps that I built from a set of S-5 Electronic kits, but I lost them in a tornado a copal of years ago right along with my house that was also destroyed in the tornado as well. But the good news is, I am in a brand new house. So I was able to reconfigure my whole system to sound like I once did before. My best regards.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Hello Garry, Those are pretty good too as well. But if I were to get a DA converter, I would look for two things. #1. Sense I will be using it with my computer, I would look for the DA converter to have some kind of USB inter face. #2. Just about all of my equipment has vacuum tubes in it. So to stay true to that tube sound, I would look for the DA converter to have a pare of 12AX7 tubes on the analog output stage. Those are out there, but they cost some what a pretty penny.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Hello John, Then the suggestion I made to you, is correct. An FM radio transmitter that is hooked up to the line out jack of your sound card, will serve you best. Even with running long cables, you are looking at a grater resistance. Which means, you will loose some of the audio signal before it gets from point a to point b. The shorter the cable, the lesser the resistance. Hope this helps. My best regards.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Of course, when you use an FM transmitter, you don't get the full frequency range. Doesn't matter to me because I'm old and my high frequencies are fading. Also depends upon if it's a legal FM transmitter; the upper frequency limit is 15 KHz. A good hi-fi stereo system will produce 20KHz. I used to could hear those high harmonics.

An FM radio transmitter that is hooked up to the line out jack of your sound card, will serve you best. Even with running long cables, you are looking at a grater resistance. Which means, you will loose some of the audio signal before it gets from point a to point b. The shorter the cable, the lesser the resistance. Hope this helps. My best regards.
