PC connect to audiophyle system

Sufentanil, thanks for the endorsement and good information. Is a Squeezebox even necessary? Could I not directly hardwire my PC to the preamp at the sound system as long as the cable has an ethernet end for the PC and RCA jack for the preamp?

NCarv, thank you for responding. My Conrad-Johnson PV11 tube preamp, which I assume the ethernet cable you mentioned in your response needs to attach to, does not have ethernet input jacks, and it is 80 feet away!!! Does the SqueezeBox have RCA jackets, and what how expensive will it be for 80 feet of ethernet cable versus doing the distance worelessly?

...and I would like to do it hardwired for better resolution if the resolution via wireless is not optimal

Markphd, Your input is helpful as I am now building various music genres at Pandora.com for when I get the PC to feed into the sound system. I assume the use of a "Y-cable" would have a volume limitation as well lower resolution than what the SqueezeBox would provide? With a Magnum Dynalab FM receiver that costed BUCKS years ago, I hate to see the need for an FM receiver go away! I appreciate you taking the time for me here.

...big BUCKS? (the SqueezeBox is about $300)
