Awesome. Thankyou. Will start researching on usb dac and the squeeze box.

Bikemig, wow..you made it sounds so simple. Thankyou. Obviously, i need a DAC that equipped with either USB, Firewire or toslink, correct? I am clueless about the squeeze box that you had mentioned, but i will read up on it.

Hello, First post. I am a noob when it comes to Computer Audiophile. Anyhow, i just picked up an iMac 27. I would like to add an audio rig to it. Need help guiding me to a decent setup. I have a very nice audio stereo/vinyl/sacd/cd setup already..this is where i enjoy my music mostly. The iMac will be in a different room, where i am planning to move my headphones rig to. Budget: $1000, the less the better...hihi. What i've owned already: iMac 27 Yamamoto HA-2 6 different cans (Darth Beyer V3, ATH W1000, ATH W5000, Denon D7000, AKG K701, Sony SA5000) Couple of unused CD sources: Sony SCD-777es, Opera Consonance Droplet 5.0 4 B&W monitors..for listening (cant remember the models, somewhere up in my attic..lol) I would like to use the yammy as my headphone amp, use the B&Ws as speakers, and add a cd source (optional). Can this be achieved to the iMac? What would i need to pickup? Thanks guys, Happy Listening.
