Would like an opinion on hooking up PC to audio

system by using the headphone out on computer to the auxiliary outputs on preamp. I hooked this up today and found the sound wasn't too bad. All I had to buy was a Y adapter line and connect one end to the headphone out on my computer and the other to my preamps aux. line, using the preamp for the volume control. I use my media center to play and rip my cd's. I am planning to go with Empirical Audio's computer devises down the road, but for now I am going to use this setup. I was just wondering if anybody else has done this and how they think it compare with cd players or sqeezebox or other computer setups for listening. Thank you Sandra
