Folks,

I have a pretty nice HP laptop; i have a question regarding my setup though. Which is better?

-The headphone jack outputs a 24-bit, 96 KHz signal to ordinary headphones.
-SPDIF/out to my Harmon-Kardan AVR-146 (Only 16-bit, 48 KHz) Using THAT headphone jack...

I guess it's a question of the amp vs. resolution...The laptop gets the purer signal but the receiver provides impressive power. What would you recommend?

Welcome to the forum!

My recommendation would be to try both and decide which you like better.
