Instead of AUX to RCAs...

Is there any other way to connect my computer to my receiver so it doesn't sound crappy? I would like to play itunes on my stereo instead of making a ton of cds //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

you should at least have a pin jack in the back for some kind of external speakers. it may be a little low in terms of input voltage, but should still sound ok.

If you don't have an auxillary input on your HU, there is no way to have a descent sound quality out of your Ipod.

i think he's going from computer to home stereo.

yes you can get decent sq out of an ipod, most HU's now include a direct cable for ipod, also if you put music on there in a lossless format you will be fine

Oh. Well that makes it easy. Just get a cable to run from your head phone jack to one of the amp's RCA inputs (Tape...Don't use phono). This will sound just fine.

that would work. if you aren't hooking up little computer speakers and are going to run the sound through the receiver all the time, you could use the jack in the back. i don't know if the signal is any different between the headphone jack and the output on the back, so it may not make any difference in sound. the output on my computer is a pin jack, just like the head phone jack is.

your best bet is if you have a soundcard with optical or coaxial out. it will yield the best SQ. hook that into your receiver and it'll work perfectly. in fact, that's what I do //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
