I'm doing it wireless. I'm using a wireless router at the PC and sending the signal to a Linksys Wireless Dual-Band A/G Media Center Extender Model: WMCE54AG which is then RCA or Optic connectioned directly to the preamp. To do this, you will need a PC running Windows XP Media Center 2005 software. This works very well and I have a 300 gig external hard drive for music storage. At the moment I have 257 hours of music that I have access to using a remote control from my listening chair. A Ethernet connection could also be used as a wired option.
