I would recommend either a high-end sound card, like the ESI U24. It's external USB and works with MACs and PCs. The other option would be to send the SPDIF signal to a high end DAC. The later would probably be the best (you can spend a good $10k on a DAC if money is no object) but the ESI cards are very good.
How can I improve Apple iTunes through my system?
How can I improve my new Apple Macintosh G5 playing iTunes through my Linn sound system?
Can I bypass the volume control on the Mac so it feeds line level to the Linn system?
I also have iMac and PowerBooks that I would like to do the same with.
I import my CDs as AIFF uncommpressed files.
Sound quality is of most importance, not price!
