The g4 ibook with iTunes will meet all your requirements - ease, reliability, and great sound. You can rip right on the ibook, using iTunes (with error correction on into Apple Lossless) and then hook right into usb dac, without having to mess with any kmixer or any deep system settings. If you're also hooked to the internet, you can also access internet radio from straight within iTunes. Also, the latest version of iTunes will also fetch all your cover art (though with a few errors). It's an all-in-one solution that is very simple.I am using a g3 ibook into the Nixon usbchibi into tubed preamps and amps. It sounds detailed and immediate without being fatiguing. If you like nonos dacs, I recommend the Nixon usbchibi. Since you already have tubed amplification, don't get Nixon's usbtd (the tubed version of the dac) that everyone raves about, because the chibi is half the price and exactly the same circuit, minus the tubed gain stage (it has no gain stage - very pure).
