Setup question

Currently using imac with all my audio in apple lossless. Would like to go to usb based dac but my audio system is in another room and I cannot directly connect. I'm using a sonos system to access but however it could have better quality and I'd rather not do upgrades to sonos. How can I do this and retain the ability to get music into my ipod from the imac? Buy a new mac mini? Suggestion are appreciated!

You could use an Airport Express with a mini-optical digital cable feeding a conventional DAC (no need for USB). I run this way into three audio systems in my home. Nice, cheap, simple and I'm able to control it all from my iPhone.

I don't stream wirelessly to the Airport because I have a wired network which is nice because interference/dropouts are never a problem. You mentioned network cabling, so this might be perfect for you.
