Feel like hooking your computer up to your home theater receiver? Then you'll want to look at Harman/Kardon's $149 DAL-150 digital audio transcoder and USB-to-S/P-DIF interface. Put into plain English, the DAL-150 bridges the chasm between your PC and audio system. It takes MP3 audio files from your Windows PC and converts them into standard PCM format, sending it over a digital coaxial cable to your receiver, which can then process it into glorious digital sound. The DAL-150 can also pass on the original MP3 bitstream to devices with built-in MP3 processing - such as the Harman/Kardon receiver above!
