Need advice on how to dip a toe into digital
The simplest system I can think of is iTunes (free) and an AirPort Express ($99) for streaming and D/A. I use iTunes, on an iMac, and an AirPort Express for streaming and Toslink cable from the AirPort Express into a Pioneer Elite receiver to perf... 
Any Audirvana Plus enthusiasts out there?
Must be something to do with your setup, my Aurdirvana Plaus playback is absolutely dead quite, definately no clicks. 
D&D 's

Houston TX
Surprisingly, I don't think there is anyone left in Houston who will meet your criteria (specializes in 2 channel audio). Please, someone prove me wrong! 
Life span of speakers

Want To Hear How Amazing Computer Audio Can Be?
Hifiharv,I had the same concern when initially thinking about getting into computer audio, looks complicated, it is not. All you need, in addition to a computer, is software to manage the computer audio files (FLAC, AIFF etc.), I use Audirvana Plu...
