I don't have a PC plugged into and amp & speakers anymore, but when I last did, it was connected to a Yamaha CR-1020 receiver. I don't know when mine was made but they stopped building them in 1979, so that makes it at least 38 years old! It's upstairs in the bedroom system and gets used every day. |

It's all relative!
I am playing an album on the main system and tonight, it's got a ~50 year old power amp in it.

I have an original Caiman DAC plugged in via USB - it's probably the oldest component. That feeds a much more up to date SMSL class T amp and then a pair of Fostex speakers.
The PC itself is a bang up to date Gigabyte Brix NUC with Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM and NVMe SSD.
