Computer Audio Setup

Realy wanting to get a computer setup. Im using a PS audio pwd with bridge into tube amp and merlins vsm speakers. Ive been feeding sonos into the pwd but the sonos limitations are my current issue. I love sonos for my whole house audio but not for high end stereo. I purchased a nas to put all my cds on but feel id rather have a computer based audio system. So how should I proceed? I have an imac thats two floors above my stereo so direct connection is out. Can i stream with higher rez from sites like mog or rhapsody using a computer than my current sonos setup?

Hey Steve thanks for the input. I woukd love to use your setup but cant wrap my head or wallet arounf $1200 for a cable format converter. With all I have read I have no doubt that your products are fabulous though.

So with the upgraded pwd I can go usb from my computer into the pwd for streaming? Control of the computer, say imac, with ipad or iphone?

Edorr I really apprecitae your input. What I'm really wanting to do is use my pwd to stream from the internet or download HD tracks. So if I use a mac mini I could control the system with my ipad and go directly into the pwd using usb? Could it stream from MOG like this as well? Sorry for all the questions. I'm new to all this.

Edorr, thanks for the suggestions. The reason for usb at this point is my poor understanding of computers. I can't seem to get my NAS to be recognized by itunes for storage. UpNP setup is way over my head at this point. I agree the bridge is what I have intended to do but I can't seem to figure it out. I am in the process of upgrading to the mkII now and will likely have the geek squad come set the system in the future.

Edorr, got it up and running with the bridge! Wow, it sounds great. Can't wait for the mk II update. Thanks again.
