Explain Digital Basics to an Analog person


I don't understand the pieces of a Digital system. However, I would like to build one. What components do I need?

Goals
Record hi-resolution digital from LPs.
Play CDs (Redbook, SACDs)
Play hi-resolution digital files from a computer through my stereo.

Make your life easy
1) buy an Oppo 105 as your SACD player, DAC and DLNA renderer
2) use the PC build of your choice as a media player with JRiver Media Center software as DLNA controller feeding the Oppo.
3) plan on large sucking sound in your wallet every paycheck as HDTracks tantalizes you with continuing hirez releases and in the near future DSD downloads take off.
4) kick your heels up in your easy chair knowing that the next step up will cost you 3x as much.
