wondering if there is anything like that for home audio.

One option is to just hook a MP3 player up to your home
stereo using a common, readily-available cable.

Another option involves using a PC for your digital player.

There are also some devices that facilitate networking your
home stereo into a networked PC in your house.

And something that would play a bit better quality
(altough I suppose
that is something that could be done by setting the MP3
level to
320K.)

For the best results, play .wav files or lossless compressed
..wav files.
