I have found myself listening to plenty of music on internet radio lately. I use a Compaq laptop and connect it to my Denon receiver using the headphone jack. The problem is that the laptop DAC is pretty bad and there’s a continuous and annoying kinda of a buzzing (ground) sound. I now that there are external USB DAC devices, but I’ll prefer (if it exist at all) a device that I could plug to my laptop using usb and have only a digital output so that I can use the Denon DAC for DD5.1, DTS and PCM. Is there such a gadget in the market?
