Help me find a cheap, small stereo with optical inputs

purplefern5 · 25th September 2009, 08:48 PM

I am trying to find small stereo system but it has to have an optical input. Originally I planned to use a computer sound system but I can't find one that has optical inputs.

The system needs to fit into a 6"x12"x30" box and the only sound source I have is optical. Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Ever hear of an external DAC? Find a small one and then you can use any stereo you want.

If you use a pure digital amplifier, there is no need for a DAC. But a DAC and hybrid makes it possible to get smug with digital.
