my puter based system is up and running- bought one of those things off ebay that works thru the usb port-
found a used one for 5$ -
and it works fine-best part was it is a easy nothing to do plug and play-so now im partially out of the stone age-just a matter of getting my tunes downloaded-went mediaplayer loss less-sounds good so far-i guess ill have to get a external hd-
so now -----
mediaplayer usb out to my converter device in,out digital optic to my zero dac-
i found a long usb cable long enough to get my lap top on the end table next to me
