Quad 33/303 set up

Recommended Posts

Hello, I would like to play wav files from a laptop through my (unmodified) Quad 33/303. Would appreciate some advice on the best method to:

 

1. Maintain best quality sound and

2. Not spend too much money or break anything!

 

Quad has phono inputs and laptop has USB and maybe optical outputs.

I had to give my Quads up for adoption several months ago and not a day goes by without me thinking of my poor litte pups. Along with a pair of Rogers LS6s. Wow, that was a feckin' great system! Warm, woolly, and full of good loving. Perfect for digital.

 

Anyway, the cheap and cheerful option I personally would take: just get a Musical Fidelity VDAC II (about £200).

1. Connect the usb to your laptop

2. Connect the audio outs to either of your 33's Radio inputs (or Tape)

3. Enjoy
