If I don't have to spend money on something I don't really need than I wont, If I can use my laptop to stream iradio Spotify etc through the integrated amp via a cable fromt the laptop then great, if I cant then I will get what I need to do so, I am not big into tech so I am fairly green when it comes to tech, will the toslink from the pc to the amplifier do this adequately or is there something else I need Thanks

My laptop is HP and the bass cant even be adjusted, so if the foobar improves that it would be great, I presume the connection is toslink from the headphone jack to the optical port in the amplifier, do I need anything in between like a convertor?

Hi all I am new and am looking for some advice I have a Marantz pm6005 amp q-aqoustics 3050i speakers and project carbon esprit turntable which this set up is mostly used for, but I was considering a the NA 8005 for streaming from my laptop using Spotify, internet radio, etc. Stored music on laptop. But is it necessary to have a network audio player if I can go through the amplifier built in DAC, direct from the laptop, do I need an external DAC or the best way to use the built in DAC, I am not sure at all how best to proceed here I don't want to spend all that money on something like the NA8005 if I don't have to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks hoggie3245
