i started out with your exact same question and an even smaller budget, and after trying various unsatisfying solutions ended up buying a logitech transporter which i really like. i also got an ipod touch running ipeng as a wifi remote control. i spent a bit more but now my ears are happy too.
How to Play iTunes Through My HiFi
O.K. - I have done some research and am still confused. I would like to play iTunes playlists through the stereo system but have found using my MacBook Pro as the source degrades the sound. I've done this at a couple of parties using a DJ system and the Mac sounds inferior to the professional Denon CD players.
My budget is $400.00-600.00 and I already have a Bel Canto DAC II I could also use. Any suggestions of products which can improve the music making abilities of the Mac laptop?
