Old Integrated Amp / Digital sources?

Need some advice. I am currently running my system with a vintage NAD 3020. I am thinking of adding an apple TV so that I can tap into the 1000's of songs my family has purchased. It only has a "optical audio" output. What is best to do?
- Get a new amp and an apple TV?
- Is there some type of conversion box and use existing amp?
- are there any other clever solutions to access iTunes without an apple TV?

My current sources - Sony BluRay player, Cable box.

Hi Afranta,

Just as Hifibear has pointed out, and wanted to let you know about the Emotiva DAC (See their site.) It'a a great DAC for
pretty cheap, and is what I am running my apple tv through.

Good luck!

No need to get a new amp. All you need is a D-to-A converter (DAC) with an optical input. The FiiO D3 is very cheap and, I've heard, very good.
