Wireless Music Bridge, Soundbridge, etc.

I know there's some threads on this, but I'm considering a wireless DAC interface between my PC and Pre-amp. Been reading some horror stories about Linksys Music Bridge as well as the Roku and even Logitech Squeeze Box. Some people like them others say "no way". Difficult to get working, clips, quits, sounds bad.....

Logitech also has the Transporter but don't think I'm ready for a $2000 gamble.

Just trying to use a better audio out from my PC, possibly better external soundcard and get rid of some cables. Any reasonable recommendations?

Kennyt, so how do you feel about the sound quality? Do you get sound comparable to your other sources?

I am looking to bypass the soundcard in my PC as the CD version of the same file sounds superior to playing the original source through my PC in Winamp, whether it's flac, shn,wma, or mp3.

I've been doing A/B comparisons of the original files I downloaded and then copied onto CD. The CD's have much more of everything and I feel I need to send the signal directly to the Pre-amp and not use the PC soundcard.

Thanks Richard. I'm just a little gunshy because I read reviews that were all over the map. Many liked MB and many did not. Some said they never got it to work after countless hours, and others said it was a snap.

I also looked into the D-Link/HD Link which plays video and will put pix on TV, but same thing. Some love it, others can't get it to work.

Just trying to get other's experiences and Best Buy said they'd take it back anything up to 30 days.
