Does this product even exist???

Playing mp3's through high end audio equipment is not going to make them sound better. Had a client who wanted to listen to mp3's he downloaded off the web throught his DCS dac, Mark Levinson amp & pre, and Thiel speakers. We installed a device with a hard drive that would allow him to transfer files from his computer (about $5000). He was so disappointed with the sound that he he tried to return the unit (could not return it - we tried to talk him out of it before he purchased it). In my own experience, I find that the higher the level of resolution of audio equipment, the more you are going to hear the flaws in the recording format. While mp3's might sound almost as good as cd's on inexpensive computer speakers or portable mp3 players, when you use high end gear they sound about as good as the fm radio in a boom box (320kps). And if you use higher compression the quality goes down hill quick.

BTW - I have a sound blaster audigy2, monarchy audio SM70 class a amp, b&w lm monitors, ps audio ultimate outlet, and kef sub hooked up to my computer.

OK, I have looked everywhere and all I can find is 2.4 GHZ transmitters and receivers with RCA analog outputs and inputs. I think it would be cheaper to buy a cheap computer for $200, slap in a sound card with digital out and go directly to my DAC. That way I can run some cat5 to it and stream uncompressed CDs for background music.

Don't get the 2.4 GHZ transmitters and receivers with RCA analog outputs and inputs. Tried that and the audio bandwidth is terrible.

You can use the AudioTron from TurtleBeach http://www.turtlebeach.com/site/products/audiotron/producthome.asp with cat5, a phone line network if you have phone jacks close enough or you can use 802.11b wireless peer to peer networking.

The AudioTron has a S/PDIF TOSlink to connect to a DAC.

I set up one of these for my friend wireless network and all and for MP3's it works quite well.

thx for the last response. This is what I was looking for.

THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD NEWS FOR ALL OF US...

Creative will be releasing a new sound card. The Audigy 2 Platinum EX. Note the EX part. Basically they are getting rid of the internal drive bay connections and using an outboard pice to connect to the sound card in your computer. Similiar to the Extigy.

I am thinking this will be nice. I assume their reasoning is to eliminate a majority of the computers EMI and fan noise.

They claim to have a long digital bus cable that will run from the back of the sound card to your external box which you can place next to your sound system.

I would reccomend checking it out. I have already placed an order for one when they ship and will post a review of it in detail after many hours of listening.

Good luck,
