How do I do it?
Thanks everyone. So it seems I will need to dump my Wavelength Crimson and get a pre/dac with a HT bypass if I am to combine my current 2 channel mains into home theater duty. Aside from Emotiva gear (thanks for the suggestions), any other recomme... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
Well, um, because, you know, um, well, huh, yep, it just is.... 
amarra or pure music..?
When will Amarra 2 be offered? Or, is it available now? 
amarra or pure music..?
They both sound great. I agree with your assessment of the differences though. Unfortunately, PM is not yet stable as you also point out, which gets very frustrating for me. Hence, Amarra gets my vote. 
Getting started again advice for a newbie
Assuming you have an Apple laptop, I would suggest you download/install one of the following ripping programs: MAX or XLD with preference going to XLD. Download the XLD GUI version from here: http://tmkk.hp.infoseek.co.jp/xld/index_e.html.Then do ...

Mac to DAC thats comparable to Linn CDP?
For this to work, you'll have to spend some $ on a decent DAC, whether it be a USB or Firewire version, although I doubt you have a F/W connection on your Dell. Are you running Windows as well? Or, just OSX? If running windows, you can try Mediamo... 
Max audio converter FLAC to AIFF
Yeah, linear notes will be single file in original download folder. 
Music player recommendations?
It used to that Cowon America players sounded the best. I don't know where they stand now. It's been a few years since I've owned one. They are very cool players though. If you really must have the best sounding player and can spend some dough, bu... 
Mac with USB Dac
I use the Apple LCD display to view Front Row. It's big enough to easily view album art, as well as title, artist, album, etc. from our listening area. It is actually quite beautiful! Along with the display, my Mac Mini, mouse, and small Apple key... 
Mac with USB Dac
JT,I've been thinking of getting an iTouch to use as a remote. Um, is the thing bluetooth, or does it connect to the wireless network in the home? I assume you can dial up music from anywhere in the house, provided you have Expresses scattered abo...
