Thank you Ill take your advise and stick with my infinity set up. Ill have to check out some gear, I just need to find a store that demos everything.

Hi, I have been gathering sound equipment over the years as a general musician / musicl listening hobbyist. Recently I became aware of everything I was missing by using iTunes for so long because I bought a 2005 Acura TL (so basically dvd-a did me in lol) I have purchased as many titles that were of my interests and under the 70ish dollar point on amazon. Since then, My focus has also began to include computer hi-fi listening (24/higher than 44) Here's what I need help with: What gear (that I own or is under 50 dollars) should I use, where and with what connections? any advise will be appreciated. current set up computer #1 Imac 27" late 2009 core i5 Digidesign mbox pro 2 (DAC?) via Firewire via one cable with firewire2 on one end and firewire3 on the other. (Used for mBox) to Sony de197 Reciever via Monitor out (two TRS 1/4 inch plug adapters) w/ monster interlink 100 RCA cable to the reciever. 2x Infinity Primus 150 speakers Also available for me but not using right now/ Bose companion 3 series 2 speaker set Bose soundwave (old CD version 1993ish) Then I Also have hooked up to my TV currently: Sony DAV-x1 home theater system (maybe good SACD player?) and I have a second computer thats a macbook air late 2011 13" Im not sure if its relevant but I also have a ps3 (slim new version) and the newer version of the Xbox 360. I dont care if i hack them like crazy to utilize them somehow. also have crate 2x12 gutar amp and a little peavy practice amp. what is the best sound quality i can get from what I have, (I dont have saudering experience so easy DIY stuff if thats a thing) I dont have SACDs, just DVD-a because of my car but they seem less expensive and I dont mind buying a few. and i dont mind moving stuff around to get the best out of my system. Thank you in advance for any tips, i can give more info if needed.
