Computer to Reciever ?

I have a friend who wants to hook up a laptop computer to his 5 year old Denon reciever. What is the most simple, cost effective way to do this while maintaining good sound quality? Thank you for any suggestions!

Trends Audio USB dac. Under $100.
It works for me.Also quality is very good. Easy plug/play setup. Connect your l-top with a usb and use analog or digital out from Trends to your reciver.

You can use a headphone jack adaptor that splits into L&R Female jacks and run the interconnects into reciever, I have done that before and it works great, not super great but hey its only $5.00......try it.

An M-Audio Transit. It converts USB to TosLink for under $100. If I remember right it gets it power from the USB port.

Hey Mik;

Just a minor warning. I love my squeezebox....but understand it won't play itunes downloaded music.

Not a problem for me...I just want to listen to my CDs...in total random order.
