I have an older Sony amplifier I want to use for my computer, paired with some sort of speakers. While planning, I’m thinking: should I just use my motherboard’s line out to the amp, or would I be better utilising the S/PDIF header on my mobo to get the audio digitally to the amp?
Only downside to SPDIF is that it’s limited to 5.1 surround sound, so no 2nd subwoofer or top channel/ up firing speakers. If 5.1 is all you’ll ever need you’ll be fine with SPDIF
Yeah I’m not planning on anything more than 2 speakers and maybe a sub
