need advise for first computer and its connecton to main music system

70.101.83.70

Hi
Well its about time I start considering my first computer for home.

Im not really asking about computers themselves but what to consider for connecting what I can get from it to the main sound system.

My basic thought is to have more access to music. Not sure how much use I would give an ipod but not ruling it out yet either. I understand there are some nice docking stations or dacs for improved sound possibilities along with its portability incentive.

Im aware of lossless or wave files vs compressed mp3 but know little about the differances in software or formats except that all my experiance is with windows based operating systems.

I have a nice (to me) 2 channel system and am comfortable with that gear but get lost in all the digital tech stuff. Ive done some searchs here but need a bit more guidance for what to be looking for or avoiding.

My goals are to keep it simple but get access to music with the ability to play it back through my main system without the big upgrade journey I went through putting that system together.

Thanks in advance for your help and advise in this new (to me) world.
