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.

Minorl, Thank you for the explanation. I don't have any digital equipment. I have a very good, albeit budgeted, analog system. I would want a DAC and CD transport (I don't care about video) of equal level.

I have read about the Korg MR2000S. Would this be a suitable option or do you recommend other devices?

For perspective, my system consists of the following: Lenco rebuild with Mirko platter and bearing, VPI JMW 12.5 arm, Denon DL-S1, Jasmine phono (moded), Jungson JA88D integrated, and Orca designed DIY Focal speakers. I would guess it is a moderately priced system. I really strive for value on the dollar.
