Martin, welcome. My own music listening is almost entirely classical and while I'm at the computer I'm usually listening to some classical station stream. At the moment I'm listening to an interesting Spanish and Latin American concert on BBC Radio 3 from Tuesday using their 7-day listen on demand feature. I suppose that you're aware of the excellent listing of classical streaming stations found here ? My favorites are probably BBC Radio 3 and KUSC, Los Angeles.

To get out of the noisy computer environment while still in digital form I've used the Xitel HiFi Link( now called their MP3 Streamer )plugged into the USB port and then receiver analog inputs for about eight years now.

Another device with a similar purpose which uses instead a(separately purchased)optical cable to the receiver is this Turtlebeach item .

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
