RSP-2 connection to computer help please

[thermal]

What's the best way to connect a computer to the RSP-2 to listen to internet radio?

Current connections:

Aux 1 - TV
Aux 2 - PS3
CD - CD

I've tried the PS3 for internet radio, but the interface with various internet radio sites does not go smoothly.

So do I just run RCAs to the RSP-2?
Only have tuner and tape inputs available, does it matter which one to use?

Is there a stereo sound card available for best quality audio?
Current card: SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio

Thanks!

thermal, since Internet radio is usually at best mp3 quality, and sometimes even worse than that, I wouldn't worry too much about the connection. Of course, if you start streaming other thing, then it start to matter. Your integrated audio should do for now, you can use a 3.5mm (1/8th inch) to RCA stereo (L/R) cable to connect it to the RSP-2. The input shouldn't matter, unless there's a tape loop then theoretically you'd want to go with tuner (even though it still shouldn't matter). If you wanted to upgrade, you could get an external, higher-end USB-based sound card, or a higher-end PCI sound card, but in this case, I doubt it would make any difference. There are higher end sound cards that have stereo RCA outs built into/onto them, which would be a better solution overall.

I agree with Bill - you can just connect the analog out from your sound card to the tuner input of your RSP-2, and you'll be all set.

thanks guys!

now I can control the volume from the computer when I'm there as the RSP-2 is around the corner and the remote doesn't work

Compared the audio from the PS3 and from the computer and I can't hear any different in the quality

Both the tape and tuner inputs are giving me a humming noise...I took the same RCAs and connected to my cheap sony receiver in the garage and have no humming noise. Anyone know what the problem is?
