Airport Express + Dac or CD Player

I need some advice. I am a newbie when it comes to streaming music from my computer to my stereo system, but I am intrigued by the idea. I have tried a SlimDevices Squeezebox v3, but could never get SlimServer to run (and their tech support could not get it to work either).

I am now considering using an Airport Express with some sort of inexpensive dac (I was considering a Monica, but am not sure if it will work with Airport Express since it only has a coax connection). Expensive solutions are out of the question right now since work has restructured our commission schedules and my income is tight. :(

Does anyone have a real life setup that will not break the bank, but will provide similar sound quality to the Squeezebox? I am using a mid-fi Denon DCM-340 right now. Should I just stay with that?

Thanks for your imput.

Milton
