Looking for EZ way to do audio fr PC and IPOD

OK, have read thru this forum and my head is spinning like the actress in the old Excorcist movie. Simple question (I know no such thing). Is there a straightforward way to setup a system so I can use both/either my PC and my IPOD as music sources. PC is late model w WIN 7 etc and IPOD is Classic 30 gig. Looking for how best to extract to my Cambridge 740C which has an outboard DAC capability. I am also willing to buy another free standing DAC if need be as well as a Squeezebox Touch. Ripped files are primarily WAV or Apple Lossless...about 15K of them. Keep it simple if possible. Thx.

How far does the confuser sit from the stereo?

If more than a couple yards......I'd consider wireless streaming to an Apple TV or some such.
Because of the powerful SMPS in the computer, I'd keep it well away from sensitive electronics from which I wish good sound.

You'll like the DAC section of the 740c, if it doesn't mind any jitter from a digital source. Make sure your player has up-to-date ....what's it called....firmware?

my 840c doesn't like the digital output of my Airport Express....
