Hey there! I'm pretty fresh in the audio world and I'm just getting started in building home set-up. I have a pair of Monitor Bronze 3 speakers already and an HP Pavillion x360 for my music (I have a massive lossless digital library). I just need a receiver/DAC.
There is a Yamaha RX-V757 for sale on my local Craigslist for $100, which is a pretty decent price. However, what is the best way to hook up my computer to the receiver to get the best sound out of it? There is no USB or HDMI connections on the RX-V757. My other two options would be: 1) analog-analog, which I don't want to do because I'd lose sound quality or 2) via Toslink (digital headphone jack to optical), which I'm not even sure my computer supports. Any one know whether HPs have digital headphone jacks? Help please!
EDIT: If I can't hook up my computer to the Yamaha via Toslink, I'll be ISO a different receiver. Suggestions very much welcome! Thanks!
