I know that I can research this in depth, but for just a quick/dirty
answer while some students take a quiz:

If I wanted to go the "play music from your computer through your home
audio gear, a good route might be: My Mac PowerBook (I don't have a
desktop anymore) with large external drive which would contain sound
files losslessly ripped, then wireless transmission to something like
Airport Express, which I would plug into an Aux input on my preamp. CD
quality sound, right?

Thanks

sort of

Don't use an external drive, keep files on internal, or swap out
playlists, but play from the internal.

get a decent DAC that can communicate with your pc.\
in order of preference
optical, firewire or USB
send out in digital from your pc to the dac
.the key is a decent dac
don't use airport express

forget wireless, just wire form pc to dac, to preamp.

and right, use lossless ripping like flac
use EAC program to rip

Interesting..thanks
