What to do?

I have been using my analog port from onboard sound on my Abit AT-7 motherboard.  I have discovered I have a SPDIF OUT.  I am not entirely sure what it does or what I could use it for.  I am hoping the experts at HA can fill me in.  My current system is a Klipsch 2.1 and for silence I use my Bose QC2s.  How could I use the SPDIF OUT to my advantage.  The onboard sound (analog) is horrible.

Thanks

Neither your Klipsch nor Bose has digital input thus you can't gain any advantage from s/pdif.

what you need is an external d/a converter. try audiogon.com for high quality at a good price. be warned though... you need awesome speakers before it's worth the money. also wouldn't bother unless you have a lossless music collection. good speaker + good d/a + lossy music... it's like having a bad foundation.

I am probably going to get a laptop for college.  I was recommended the extrenal M-Audio one.  Any other suggestions.
