I was hoping to get some clues as to what to look for when buying a PC to connect to my Bel Canto C5i (built in DAC). Should I go for a PC with digital Audio out (S/PDIF) (which desktops have digital audio out?) or just use a USB connection?
The same PC would also be used for browsing the Web on my TV and watching ABC, NBC via the internet. I suppose this would require a HDMI connection as well.
Budget: Mac Mini price range.
