I am using a JVC 5.1 receiver model rx-9010vbk. This particular receiver is equipped with a mini-USB port on the front panel. This port connects to the USB port on the computer, allowing to use the computer as the playback source. I have a G-4 Mac and use I-tune's exclusively to play my 19000 mpg's through my stereo system. This is done with the JVC receiver via usb port to usb port on computer. The receiver has Burr-Brown PCM 2702 DAC and my computer automatically recognizes it. I use to connect my receiver to computer with rca inputs, but USB is much,much better since the sound quality and fidelity is noticeably better since I am bypassing the internal sound from the computer by going usb direct from the receiver. I have done some research and have found there very few is any current model receivers that have usb port for connecting computer for mgp playback.
